The blue Googles are now the green Googles?!?
Since this is a bit of an in joke for folks who knew me ten years ago: multiple of my less technical customers believed there were two logically separate Internets which had separate sites&separate instances of sites on them, like two computers might have Word but not same docs.
Multiple customers described that they used “the green Googles” (the Internet, as accessed by Chrome) at home and “the blue Googles” (the Internet, as accessed by IE) at school.
Note that this isn’t as crazy as it sounds: if you search the blue Googles for lesson plans for biology you get different lesson plans than the green Googles. Email isn’t the same in both places. If you use the right email for a computer, a SaaS product will appear instanced.
“Checkmate, computer programmer, how do you explain that?” not a literal quote but very definitely a conversation I had 3+ times.
