Started this thread off the springboard of the TCPA thread where I advocated going back to legacy software while avoiding the Internet altogether, given recent developments in networking.

I've also made it clear elsewhere that I miss taglines, and so I'm going to take this time to introduce you post-Internet online junkies to vintage tech taglines. Yes, I'm a proud collector of taglines:
