I remember when you had to telnet on the web. Bev was probably only ancient back then. :-) Did you mean 'ancient' as in 'no other qualities' or 'the only grown-up'? Precision is just SOOOO important. You're the only person I know that has her birth certificate on clay tablets. You're so old that you have an autographed copy of the Bible. You're so old that when God said, "Let there be light," you said, "About damn time." My first post to usenet was in 1994. Shell account through either Caltech or the UC's freenet. Gopher, Veronica, etc. Company gave me a private phone line so I could use Mosaic to test out the website that some guys were trying to sell them. Running on the Apple in the conference room it was lovely and fast. Running via the net on an ordinary computer over an ordinary phone line it looked OK but took the usual minutes-per-page to load. Life was a lot simpler then. I was on usenet in the mid 70's. Life sucked back then. I had to write programs on punch cards. there was only one IBM360 in the whole city. Today, my cable remote has more computing ability. This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe |

Dave Of course, Dave. I happened to be at the University of Waterloo in the years that the Internet was coming into being . I was actually friends with the guy who made the suggestion that the "@" sign should serve to separate user name from domain in email addresses. :-) |

Gopher was a search mechanism/program. Entities that wanted to share information would put it on a gopher server, which was searchable by anybody running gopher, which was pretty much everybody with a shell account. There were also Archie and Veronica, but I don't remember the details. -- Cheers, Bev "At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child, miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless.
