Ridiculous. It’ll never catch on. BTT

You can tell it was the first web page. Look for the tail fins.

[BullDog108]

I remember that year. I was living in the basement of Evans Hall at Cal Berkeley. I started publishing my own sites on their servers using pico & HTML 1.0

Little did I know how it would all end up....

[ClearCase_guy]

Wow! That from before they invented porn!

[EternalVigilance]

just plain text and some links to other information about the nascent Web.

How can it have links to other information if it was the only webpage there was?

“Getting the code by anonymous FTP , etc.”

Interesting last line. I wonder if the hackers that call themselves “Anonymous” got their name from this?

There are jokes about reaching the end of the Internet, but did you know there REALLY is a START of the Internet? Yes, there really is a beginning, and this is it. The very first Internet webpage, created by Tim Berners-Lee on August 6, 1991, in its basic, no-frills plain text! It still exists at its original URL at CERN and includes hyper links to other webpages Berners-Lee created to show what the nascent World Wide Web he envisioned could do. This is HISTORY! -- PING!

Ping for dayglored, Shadow Ace, and ThunderSleeps for their ping lists.

They thought it was going to be called the W3. Ha!

Abe Lincoln warned the Internet would be a massive haystack of crackpot theories, deniers of facts and hyperbole from the deck of The Titanic on April 16, 1865...

Swordmaker, there is something wrong here. I carefully checked the link. There is not one mention anywhere of Al Gore, the acknowledged inventor of the Internet.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Just a fad. It’ll pass.

[FourPeas]

Fun to walk down memory lane

[centurion316]

Of course, the Internet existed before this first WWW page. The web and the internet are not the same thing. The web was what turned into the internet something useful to the general public. Much of the internet use prior to the Web involved transferring large data files between researchers via ftp. Usenet fora could also be accessed via the Internet.

That was my first experience with the Internet.

[Exit148]

Who coined LOL?

When was the first IBTZ?

Seriously -— interesting information.

[Freedom_Fighter_2001]

Is it loading slow or is it just me? blazing fast 300 baud dial up

[Rebelbase]

Impossible. I don’t see Al Gore’s name anywhere on that page.

[Flycatcher]

The second post started the first flame war.

[uglybiker]

And for every beginning....

[MeshugeMikey]

its rather shocking that when I first got on the web in 1994... a full two years later the entire web world had already begun its explosion
