I was checking on something in my files and noticed a printout I did of webpages I had built.
The printout was dated February 13, 1995.
I’ve been doing web stuff since there was a world wide web.

Ken-san, you rule. However, Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web in 1989 (I thought it was ’87, but I double-checked). I started learning HTML in 1993, which I think is the year the Web went commercial. (Remember the flames over that!) Not meant to undermine your legitimate status as an early adopter.
Oh, quite true Mark. At best, I can only say — and only intended to say — I was early. HTML in 1994.
I actually drove over AOL headquarters in 1993 or 1994 though to pick up a beta copy of their newest software. Remember those AOL disks EVERYwhere?
Berners-Lee invented just a small part of the web’s protocol.

Odds are there wouldn’t be a Web as we know it without TB-L.
I agree with you Mark.
It seems to me that Tim Berners-Lee is as much the inventor of the World Wide Web as Edison was of the phonograph. True, B-L did not create the internet, simply the most widely used protocol on it, but then Edison didn’t invent sound or tinfoil or write “Mary Had a Little Lamb” either.
