Jeez, how old does that make me? Anybody else remember what a peaceful place the internet used to be before the world wide web came along?

How do I get some or this 'internet'?
Once I have it, will it make sound like John Lennon?
Will anyone complain if I have it?
Do I have to have nine wives to use it?
Will my pono play the internet for me?
How may floppies do I need to download the internet?
Was the original internet better than the cover internet?
Does the internet has dinner ready for me?
Will Straummy do a picture of the internet in photoshop with all it's words?
Will Beagle come back if we give him the internet?

Happy Birthday, World Wide Web! Gopher says, "Hi!" In this Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet, there's a description of the first ARPANET communication back in 1969. "We set up a telephone connection between us and the guys at SRI ...", Kleinrock ... said in an interview: "We typed the L and we asked on the phone, "Do you see the L?""Yes, we see the L," came the response.We typed the O, and we asked, "Do you see the O.""Yes, we see the O."Then we typed the G, and the system crashed ..." The more things change...

Sounds about right! I still remember when we got an upgraded acoustic coupler (meant for those old-style corded phone handsets). It could do 110 BAUD, but if you whistled into the phone at 4,200 Hz (might have been 4,400 Hz, can't remember) you could sometimes get a higher pitch then you slammed the phone into the coupler and wildly started alternately pressing [Return] & [Linefeed] in hopes of getting a login prompt to print at 300 BAUD (yes, print - there were no monitors, just a teletype that didn't have lowercase). Ah, those lovely time-share memories... Although I can't recall exactly which value is correct, I can still whistle at that pitch. This was a very useful thing back in the 70's since it allowed you to use any pay phone without putting in your dime. You just picked up the receiver, whistled into the phone and, if the pitch was correct, you'd get a dial-tone and off you went.

So I was 29 when it was invented. Probably 34, 35 when I started using it. I certainly don't ever remember wishing there was one before it existed, and everything seemed to go along just fine without it. Funny old game, innit?

Heh, haven't heard of those good 'ol CPM's in a long time. One place I worked at in the 80's had three called Tom, Dick and Harry. When they finally were replaced I heard a story about how they were taken on some fishing trip where they "accidentally" fell overboard... (Note that I don't condone the dumping, but it did illustrate just how much value was left in those things!)

Only 25, and yet it sometimes acts like a crotchety old bastage trying to run the kids off his lawn.

I think you're confusing the World Wide Web with our Straummy
An easy mistake to make, I agree, considering his straumaging skills.
Wait... Steve is only 25?

I came to it when the Fido boards started up getting big! At that time, a friend of mine was working with Cakewalk and Todd Rundgren on some computer stuff already.

Wow... incredible. It always amazes me when I take note of how much things have changed in such a short time. Yesterday there was a news story about some politician who wants to ban the use of some new .**** in particular .sucks, they figure that any .sucks site will be used to mock other sites. As long as they use it to mock .gov sites... I see no problem. On a similar note. I always have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that the US "war between the states" ended in 1865, with horse cavalry, some breech loading canon, some repeating rifles but mostly still muzzle loading black powder guns. No airplanes... and THEN... WW II ended in 1945, only 80 years later with the use of an atomic bomb dropped from a huge airplane. What an astonishing advancement in 80 years. It just seems incredible to me. The world existed for millennia using the horse and cart/wagon. Wood and coal for fuel... then in a couple hundred years we are talking in real time to anyone in the world, anywhere in the world. Yeah, 35 years of WWW.. it is all incredible to me. We couldn't imagine all we now have even 50 years ago. I wonder what it will be like in another 50 years. I fear privacy will be forever lost sans some apocalypse. Those airplanes in the 1940s were jam full of vacuum tubes. Here's to WWW !!! Prost! J
