Sorry, maybe I need to rephrase my wording:

Internet existed in the mid-late 80's, giving people access to regional databases, universities, and some libraries as a means for scientists to share information. What I should have said is "World Wde Web"

The earliest browser I recall using was Netscape. Probably mid 90’s or so.

Just admit already that you didn't do your due diligence before interviewing the guy.

Just admit that you badger and harass Dennis over literally everything he posts.

He's also one of the reasons I try not to post much on here anymore. (hey, had to say it Tazzy)

Even when I wished everyone a Merry Christmas in a General Thread,, he had to post a question for me about my wording about the "Reason for the Season".
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Today's winning observation of WAP. :)

I'd say by the early 2000's I had set our IE homepage to Google on the home PC, same time we got HughesNet. Dialup with a GUI interface was just too slow.

Even at work with a T1 line, we didn't have direct WWW access until 1999 and we were pretty progressive on granting access.
You mean its not the flu!?!

Grow some thicker skin, or stop posting stuff if you can't take criticism.

Save the insults for political my man. For a self-professed Christian, you are about as far from the definition as they come.
