It's good to have at least a passing understanding of
the old terminology simply because documentation for
newer stuff likes to reference it...

Plus it's fun (and informative about a netgeek's skill)
when they call, say, 72.234.7.0/24 a Class C and you
can say no it's not. Then you see if they can say why.
If they can't, well...ummm... I really mess with them
after that. It helps pass the work day. >;-)
