I for one would like to say a word of appreciation and thanks to the moderators who help so many people on this forum. I would also like to remind all you people who post your urgent problems on any of the forums that it only takes a minute to say "thank you" to the person who helps you resolve your problem. I know how very frustrating it is to follow a problem until it is (presumably) resolved and then have the person who posed the problem disappear without any acknowledgement of having been helped. Think how you would feel is you had invested your time and your expertise in helping someone and they didn't even say "thank you." - jayt

The Internet browser turned 15 on Sunday.
Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first Web client, or browser editor, on a NeXT computer called WorldWide Web in 1990 with the aim of building a creative tool that would allow people to use the Internet.
He apparently finished the code on Christmas Day, 1990 while all his associates were feasting on mince pies and getting into the port. He released the program to a number of much sobered up people at CERN in 1991.
Later that year they started to port WorldWideWibble from NeXT to the bit more common C language and created the new browser libwww and the whole lot took off.
