In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a healthy young wife by the name of Dorothy. And Dot Com was a comely woman, large of breast, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.
And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy tent?"
And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, dear?"
And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price. The sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."
Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent.
To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was known as Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures - Hebrew to The People (HTTP).
And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS. And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who bought off every drum maker in the land. Indeed he did insist on drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates' drumheads and drumsticks.
And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others." And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or eBay as it came to be known. He said, "We need a name that reflects what we are."
And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." "YAHOO," said Abraham. And because it was Dot's idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com.
Abraham's cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's drums to locate things around the countryside.
It soon became known as God's Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE).
That is how it all began. And that's the truth. I would not make up this stuff!!

This is all true.....How'ere, even before this { in the book of Genesis }, there is reference to the first computers, that few people have discerned. Yes, for it is written that "Eve had an Apple" and "Adam had a Wang". So now you know the rest of the story.

Ah, a Biblical expert. Surely you know the name of the angel that appeared to the shepherds on the first Christmas.

OK....I'll bite ! I do not know, but I think I'm about to find out ! :-) The Bible says there were a million angels that appeared before the shepherds, but there was no name given to the one angel that spoke.
I will come back with the riddle of naming the straightest man in the Bible {?}

JerryC.......I neglected to mention, that your use of the word "expert" in my case needs to be clarified. This word is broken down into two smaller words....."ex"...and "spert". "Ex" is defined as a discontinued model....and a "spert" is simply a drip under pressure. Now that we've got that straight..... :-o

But famously Dorothy was riding her camel too fast and they ran into the marketplace and upset fifteen stalls. It was known as the Dot Com Crash.

Actually if she was large of breast, "Amazon" would not be an appropriate name. (Look it up.)
