The internet, Physics Forums, and Dr. Neutrino

In summary: You mean the WWW? Yeah, that was pretty much it.In summary, the www was born in 1993 thanks to Tim Berners-Lee. He cut his teeth on Dr. Neutrino back in 1996, and has been using the internet since 1994. He's been using the same internet account and e-mail address since 1994. He's never corresponded with Tim Berners-Lee, but he told him one day that if he had a penny for every minute he had been on the internet, he'd be a billionaire. He declined my box of chocolates, but has blessed me with chocolate many times.

I used to post on Dr. Neutrino from about 1998 till it went offline. Remember the member "munu"? He was one smart cookie. I wonder if he's at PF now...

Did you miss this link?: http://home.europa.com/~garry/drneutquestion2805.htm"

The last known remnant of the site.

So far no one has fessed up to being anyone of the characters. Though I gave a hint as to which one I was.
