Am I a geek or what?

I was reading a book on Solaris and it had written in it:

"An operating system provides you with the bare essentials. It's like a tent that contains food, a sleeping bag, and a T-1 connection to the Internet"

I thought it was hilarious and I couldn't agree with it more. What if I were like Jenny and Kathryn right now without internet? I might not survive.
