    The closest I ever got to this story was working help desk in 1996. A user called up saying they had deleted the Internet.

    Took me a while to understand he dragged “the Internet” to the recycle bin on the desktop.

      There was actually a german ad about this quite some time ago: a grandma did this, then called her grandson “i think i just deleted the internet”.

      How the ad continued? No clue.

      What it was advertising? No clue.
