According to Tim Berners-Lee's book Weaving the Web, it was November-December 1990 that he got the World Wide Web working at CERN. That was when he finished working versions of the three key protocols HTML, HTTP, and URLs, had installed a server connected to the Internet, and had installed browsers on more than one machine (his and Robert Cailliau's NeXT machines). He said by Christmas Day 1990 it was all working, appropriately serving up all of his documentation on WWW. That means the World Wide Web is ten years old now. I think we should all tip our virtual hats to Tim for giving us such a fun thing to play with. In an interesting side note, his first child was born a few days later. Me, I'd say she was his second child. 8) Bob Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@s...
