Who knows who or what really created the internet.

Who Really, Really Invented the Internet?

There are several other sites that have different views.

Jimbo. There was a good Windows GUI before Windows...It was Workbench on the Amiga.
Amiga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I know as I had 3 of them and still have the full emulator Amiga Forever - Amiga Emulation, Games, History and Support Since 1997 on my machines.

I cannot believe amiga OS is still going!

That is the computer they used in the movie Robin of Locksley 1996. I always wondered that. Now I know.

Al Gore invented the internet and I have proof.

In the UK, we would be better off with a situation whereby our political leaders, educators and senior management personnel understood the IT technology that we have now. Anything else will see those people make like a threatened tortoise.

Our lovely old Queen can use the internet with greater success than the politicians.

Hi there

I'll bet she doesn't have to use Torrents to get the latest movies or TV shows -- who actually provides her Internet anyway - I'm sure that's probably one of the very FEW things that aren't outsourced --

Please UK peeps - this whole off shoring / outsourcing DOES NOT WORK - hideous Customer service, hours on stupid endless phone menu systems and people (although not their fault) who can't speak understandable English - at least a version that anybody other than a native speaker could possibly understand and who really haven't the faintest idea of the problem you are trying to solve - and even if they do they can't solve it for you as they have to stick to a pre-programmed script.

And for this stuff you pay organisations like "Accidenture" and Cap Gemini India an absolute fortune -- probably why stuff in the UK costs even more than in the new "People's Republic of France". !!

However I don't think that's HMQ's problem --I wonder though what she watches on TV - might be interesting -- "Celebrity Big Brother" for example -- the latest example of your nightly fine viewing experience over here currently. !!!!!!

Cheers
