I am glad he got this award. I have always kind of felt sorry for him! Here he goes and just shares this amazing invention with the world and didn't become a Bill Gates or anyone else- just kind of there in obscurity.

I first used the internet around 1986 when I transferred files from my university to a colleague in Israel.
It was a bit of a pain and involved batch jobs under VMS.
It worked, but the WWW and hyperlinks sure makes it easier!
