Thanks and best regards to easynetconnect for putting up this entertaining and informative video, which I downloaded just after slogging through the rather dense Wiki article on the history of the web. With a coming crash projected, the end of peak oil (and therefore cheap electricity everywhere) we may look back fondly at the early Noughties and say "Wasn't it something..."
