He writes 'Back in 1992, after their show at the CERN Hardronic Festival, my colleague Tim Berners-Lee asked me for a few scanned photos of "the CERN girls" to publish them on some sort of information system he had just invented, called the "World Wide Web".' As an aside, the all-girl rock band is  still singing about "colliders, quarks, microwaves, antiprotons and the Internet."<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

And what gals are in the very first picture on the web?

218kb!?!?! That must have taken like 10 years to dowload.

I had a dial up connection in 3rd grade with AOL, and to load something like 100kb would take hours and hours. I can't imagine how long that must have taken to download, lol.

Nay, the Internet was a noble beast. Until the evil that pervades all men's hearts corrupted it.
