    True, although in my case, I've been paying attention to it since 1989. So I at least can say I was there when the web began.

    You're the exception. The fact you know the distinction between the internet and the web proves that.

    I know I am. I started on the Internet playing MUDs over Telnet, chatting on IRC and posting on Usenet.

    My "640k is good enough for anybody" quote in 1993: "This web thing is pretty cool, but it will never replace Gopher."
