I encountered the web first in '95 with Compuserve and Mosiac too.
I think my first major web search was for Daniel Amos in 1996 - found Kevin Shaffers web page http://www.danielamos.net - found out about the DADL and my life hasn't been the same since....

I had been working at Ft. Lee Va outside of Petersburg since '82 and I had the good fortune to wind up on a project developing a system for the Army to do convoy planning in '92 or so. It ran on a 486 PC running SCO Unix. We were assisted by some really bright young programmers at the US Corps of Engineers Waterway's Experiment Station in Vicksburg, MS. They supplied the mapping software no-how and we the MIS application/data base programming expertise. They introduced me to the web and Mosiac, etc. That was when yahoo had just started and only had a few hundred sites or so classified. The system was enventually replaced by a Marine system that couldn't do half the things ours could. I first heard DA in the late 70's. Interested waned until the early 90's, waned again, and came back strong a few months ago.

I remember those days...
the days of local BBSs and online UNIX text-based chat...
back when the internet was young and semi-innocent...

Dialup vs. cable vs. DSL is all irrelevant to the web server hosting the board and the software on the web server that provides the board functionality. To the web server it's just a stream of TCP/IP packets arriving on port 80, it doesn't care if the source of those packets is a browser running on a PC or whatever connected via dial up (PPP or SLIP protocols) or
broadband. But that's probably not what you meant. nada ambigous english language! |
whatever......
