LOL, brings back memoeries of when the first program was available that would 
allow you to view .GIFs AS they were downloading.... Wow, to be able to see if 
the playboy pinup was what you wanted or not before the entire picture was 
downloaded was awesome!
I remember watching pixel line by pixel line as a picture would download.... 
Maybe 10 mins per picture.... That was awesome!
Before that, you had to wait until the picture was fully downloaded... "No 
graphics can be transmitted"...
Oh yah! And it all had to be UUencoded and UUdecoded too! That's right, that 
inline viewer would auto uudecode too....

Wow, kids today don't know how good they have it :-)

Subject: [funsec] first inline graphic on browser

Ok. My memory is a little foggy here but what I remember is I couldnt wait to 
get home to see the first inline graphic shown in a browser (think it was 
mosaic or netscape).
I was just sitting here thinking bout my age and the net to www I've seen and 
used. Thought bout this and tried to google it.
