I probably could have put this in with the Ham Related Material since the web, (for us), and Ham Radio are so closely tied together but opted for this area.

Today the World Wide Web turns 25 years old, my how you have grown.

This fact was noted today in Geoff Fox's post on his home page, he also includes a picture of the first web server which looks more like someone's beat up radio computer on their desk with an old maybe 15" monitor. The link to the full post is here: http://www.geofffox.com/MT/archives/2014...ay-www.php

There is also a link to the first ever web page put up on the web, (which appeared a few years later and was text only), here's the link to that at it's original address http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

Interesting reading. Some of the names are familiar some sound made up.

Enjoy!
