to show how fast things progress...When I got on the internet in 1995, in the early days of AOL, archie & veronica were still being used a lot and taught, and most images in usenet had to be decoded manually using programs like Uudecode and such. (I still have, 3 feet to my left, a Win3.1 machine with those programs on it. I used them for a year or two, and then discovered that browsers and newsreaders were doing all that work automatically.)

I marvel at the minds of people like Berners-Lee who can *see* the possibilities in technology....I suspect that the internet/WWW (I even know that they are NOT the same thing..*grin*) will someday be considered one of the major inventions in human history, right up there with moveable type and electricity.
