The WWW - How We Got Here

The editors [it was the developers - ed] with their relaxing site scheme have sure brought back memories of the good ol' days of CompuServe, 14.4K modems, and AOL install CDs falling out of CompUSA shopping bags. In that spirit, and mindful of NCommander's decree that no lamestream April Fool's stories will be posted on his watch, I spent literally hours identifying the world's most definitive and comprehensive history of the Internet. Wait, maybe it's this one. Whatever.

Nice!

  Dude, April Fools is a third grade meme. Don't F with my already working theme and I won't have to post it in the raw because every numbnut on the net thinks it's funny to do this shit.
