Tim Berners-Lee's first World Wide Web page flickered to life at CERN on December 20th, 1990:
The inaugural page wasn't truly public when it went live at CERN on December 20th, 1990 (that wouldn't happen until August 1991), and it wasn't much more than an explanation of how the hypertext-based project worked. However, it's safe to say that this plain page laid the groundwork for much of the internet as you know it -- even now, you probably know one or two people who still think the web is the internet.

I used lynx to read stuff back in those days, but I remember looking for pictures of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashing into Jupiter. That was the 1st image I viewed in a Web browser (back then, Mosaic).
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Haha I used Lynx because I couldn't handle the flashing primary colors and blaring sounds on Mosaic. I still do once in a while, because I get sick of the Javascript/AJAX crap and just want the text.
Love your sig, BTW
