Happy birthday WWW

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Tue Nov 13, 2007 11:19 am

On this day in 1990, the World Wide Web started.

Why do people say "WWW" when "World Wide Web" is six syllables shorter?

You type in WorldWideWeb to get to a site, and see how far it gets you!
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

Most of the time you can leave it off entirely!
