...guess, as a Brooklyn-ite, I'm predisposed to see the things that are being lost in the equation, lost in the constant glamorous renovation and the veneer of new money that's always being laid over the top of things in Manhattan.

(Fun fact: the first e-mail was sent in 1971 between two Digital PDP-10 computers.) Keep in mind that until the mid-1990s, when e-mail went mainstream, the network environment was very different. Bandwidth was a scarce resource. You had your poky modem and liked it. Which...

Someone makes Michael an offer he can’t refuse (or so he thinks). Kevin pretends to be Jim. The episode ends. Hmm…That seemed quick. Guess we’re still spoiled from last week’s two-part episode.  See what we thought of this week's, after the jump...
