    Wow Droopy you are on my wavelength. I just finished reading about this and then I see you posting it here :) It's absolutely amazing how the Internet has transformed the world we live in. Kids growing up now will never have known a time without it. Happy Birthday W W W.

    And with our age difference that in itself is a small wonder. :D

    My first thought was that I'd never get to know so many wonderful people without the www, and I'm ever so grateful to it.
