Subject: Happy Birthday WWW!!!

Just saw that tomorrow, April 30 is the World Wide Web's 20th birthday. 

from the wiki:

On April 30, 1993, the CERN directorate released the source code of WorldWideWeb into the public domain, making it free software.

Happy Birthday WWW!

My roomate and I were on Prodigy starting the summer of '94 on a 386.  Mercy was that thing fast for the time.  Now it probably couldn't power my Garmin!

1994ish on my Packard Bell 486 SX 33 through AOL.  They just opened up the great WWW and hyped the heck out of it.  I remember clicking over to it and going... "That's it".  lol

The wayback machine?

So I just looked it up. When I got to NIH and started working on their website there were about 120 other websites in existence, total. We did web development in EMACS
