Commodore 64 yahooo!!!!!
I had a VIC-20 and when I bought the 64 thought I was in pig heaven. Taught myself Basic and assembler language on that thing.

Yes, the internet includes much more and pre-dates the world wide web by many years..
. the web is the “graphic” component in HTML code.

Gosh I remember Black Sheep News. Magellan Search engine, Drudge, and a hose of other sites that I never really replaced in my tour.

Ive heard that the world wide web is actually just one part of the internet. You heard right. Various levels of data communications occur over the Internet. When one pings a distant location, that's using the lower levels of the Internet. Been around for decades, the WWW is a recent addition to the Internet at the higher levels. When I first started using the WWW after it came out, I got yelled at by an instructor (probably at Microsoft) because I turned off the graphics to obtain a text only feed without ads, because the graphics were so darn slow in the early 1990s. Instructor complained that those ads were supporting the cost of the WWW and were enabling it to grow. To this day, I'm still blocking graphic ads that slow down my access to web pages.

I had one of those Timex Sinclair 64’s back in ‘84. GOTO and all that line entry jazz... Fun to learn but today’s equipment is superb compared to it.

I remember when I first went online and dialup was so slow. I was not all that impressed in the beginning. Not so now. I am on the internet every day.

On this day 25 years ago the world's first website went live to the public.10 minutes later, the creator answered a question with "are you logged in?"

I tried to find Gopher a couple of years or so ago. I had no luck but that doesn’t mean it’s still not out there in some form or another.
