The Way We Were -- "Bangalore-based Madhu Menon has been working with computers since his school days in 1986, but his first exposure to the Internet was in February 1994 at a university in Australia. Back in India, he managed to convince a cyber café owner into letting him use his facilities free in exchange for trouble-shooting work. Today he admits he'd be seriously lost without the Net."

John links us into the middle of a multi-page article that demonstrates poor use of infographics. At the top of the page we see a photo collage with the caption, "Four veterans retrace their journey through cyberspace..."

Ummm, four? I see 2 guys and 1 chimp. Where did the other person go, and since when do chimps qualify as computing professionals? I recognize and respect that chimps were first to fly in space, but they were glorified button pushers. Let's give the profession a little respect, please.

MadMan had better be careful, that chimp's getting a high profile. It might get big-headed and split up the partnership to try to forge a solo career as a user experience guru.
