The First Image Published on the Web

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the better-than-barbie-and-the-rockers dept.

rcastro0 writes "A charming picture of "Les Horribles Cernettes" was the first ever to grace a web browser window, according to Silvano de Gennaro from the CERN Music Club site. He writes 'Back in 1992, after their show at the CERN Hardronic Festival, my colleague Tim Berners-Lee asked me for a few scanned photos of "the CERN girls" to publish them on some sort of information system he had just invented, called the "World Wide Web".' As an aside, the all-girl rock band is still singing about "colliders, quarks, microwaves, antiprotons and the Internet.""

    it's off topic i know... friday night, 4g alcohol/L...
    I have to say that slashdot saved me from msft... pls understand that, some years ago, i had to code a FAT reader to get the fucking directory content whitout using findfirst() and findnesxt(). Now i'm 100% linux (and also 5% freebsd... freebsd helped too so that i could understaend that i was not free)

    Anyway, long life slashdot... forever
