the "history" of the Internet/Web

I still say all these postings confuses small "i" internet with big "I" Internet. was the public on the net at that time? not really, residential home users certainly didn't exist. most of the public considers the "web" to be the Internet. hey, don't fault me for that, it's public thinking. and that, at least according to Wiki, was the CERN site in Aug of 1991, almost 30 years later than this. and again, it wasn't publically published until starting in 1994/1995 at the earliest. Even at this time, BBSes were the way of things, the web wasn't really thought of. I worked for a rather large PC manufacturer at the time, companies weren't advertising or using "Internet" until around 1995, perhaps it was a bit earlier in other places, but I hardly think so. For example, the first Cisco 2501 router to roll off the assembly lines was in 1994. And at least in the early days, the only addressing they had was Novell IPX. neither igrp nor ospf were there yet. (just putting things in perspective). Again, the university and research environment was different. but that's how it was. So continue with your stupid jokes, and ancient references that mean nothing to the public at large. I thought this list was a bit more mature than this So fine, into the garbage a piece of history goes. congratulations! I hope you're happy Dan. _________________________________________________________________ Try Chicktionary, a game that tests how many words you can form from the letters given.
