Photo taken at the CERN Visitors centre, Geneva. (Halogen spot lights and glass boxes ... Grrr ...)

| Hodgkinson Posts:1080 | December 21, 2007, 02:08:23 PM Well, you might have a point there. But the internet in general did (Apparently) originate from the ideas in this letter, and most people seem to consider the internet and email as one these days. Hodgkinson. |
| odin Posts:6796 | December 20, 2007, 01:43:55 PM Uh...you mean e-mail didn't exist before 1989 :inquisitive: |
| Hodgkinson Posts:1080 | August 25, 2007, 09:19:45 AM :~) Huh. |
| gdanko Posts:776 | August 25, 2007, 06:09:24 AM The document looks to me like it says vague. Oh nevermind, the commenter misspelled it. |
| Hodgkinson Posts:1080 | August 15, 2007, 07:33:28 AM :-D I've just been on holiday to Switzerland so I thought I'd upload the image anyway. I've got a picture of the computer that Tim Berners-Lee used if anyones interested, also taken at CERN. |
