Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Or W3, as it was called then.

I can't post the link to the first post but you can look it up.

Do you remember those early days?

Yep, remember pre www and http, remember the advent of JANET and lived through the development of the www.

Much too young to remember the birth of the internet in the early 50s - not to be confused of course with the www.

I had used Telex in the 80s so the advent of the web and email just made everything easier.

I didn't use JANET but I was aware of the 'modern/with it' lecturers at the Uni where I worked using it for the first time.

I remember a client insisting we communicated via Pegasus email, I remember thinking how bizarre, why type when you can get an instant answer on the phone

I used to enjoy dinging the bell on the telex...

Now no one uses the phone unless it's to chase up payments.
