No problem. BTW used our good old SEEK search engine this afternoon to refresh my memory on net history. Good article at: boardwatch.com Relevant passage to recent discussion: << To many people coming online today, the Internet looks like the World Wide Web. WWW was started by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in Switzer-land in 1989 to facilitate the sharing of information among researchers in high-energy particle physics. It extended the concept of "hypertext" not only within a document, and between documents, but also between different computer sites accessible to each other via the Internet. But while some demonstration servers quickly came up, clients were a little unavailable for the dialup crowd. You could TELNET into a site that sported WWW, and then use that to get on the web - but it was all text. And really it was mostly a backwater on the Internet - another interesting thing. In 1993, a small group at the University of Illinois and Champaign/ Urbana had developed an Xwindows interface to the World Wide Web they called Mosaic. The NSF actually funded further development of a Macintosh and Microsoft Windows version of Mosaic through a grant to the University. The first Microsoft Windows version appeared about November of 1993. We actually covered Mosaic in our March 1994 issue. >> Less than 5 years since the Windows release of Mosaic. Does make your head spin, doesn't it.
