Though, I wasn't glad for the phone bills that went with it :)

I do remember when Tim Berners-Lee invented the WWW. Back around
1989/1990, there was an article circulating the BBS networks about
"hooking all the world's computers together into a world wide web". At
the time, I thought it was lunatic fringe, but I dutifully forwarded
the message along to a hypertext forum I managed, and then along to
the rest of the Fidonet background. At first, the SGML mavens in our
group dissed HTML as amateurish. A year later, they were giving lofty
advice :)
