"How the Web was Won" - Amazing Oral history of the Web
- cpr 18y agoPretty fun, but pretty fluffy, too. I have fond memories of working right next to the Harvard CRCT (Center for Research in Computing Technologies, whose building has been replaced by the Gates/Ballmer "cheese wedge") IMP late at night, and having someone from BBN call the phone on the side of the big rack, asking anyone around to reboot it. Gee, 56Kb/sec leased lines! Seems amazing, but it was fast at the time of 150/300 baud modems.
