I recall a quote from American movie critic, and Chicago Sun Times columnist Roger Ebert, that compares searching the internet to using a library that is rearranged every night by monkeys..." or something to that effect.
I have not been able to verify, attribute, or obtain the exact quote despite much searching.
Anyone else aware of this quote, or a resource where I can verify the exact statement?
Thanks.
