In honor of the death of Reddit (I hope), let’s harken back to a simpler time, perhaps when we old-timers were migrating from BBS chatting to Slashdot to Reddit. My favorite “oldie” is “The Website Is Down,” from 2009-ish. It perfectly captures what IT support is like.

There was a search engine called like crazy Pete and its tag was faster than a space horse. I remember it took over 4 mins to find a result and there were certain hours where Pete would personally get a result for you.
I was young so I’m not sure how accurate that was but I imagine that it’s run by an English man from a computer in his garden shed. From 6-7pm he sits in his shed smoking a pipe and serving people web results.
