The Web Is 16 Today

Unfortunately CERN no longer supports the historical site. Note from this era too, the least recently modified web page we know of, last changed Tue, 13 Nov 1990 15:17:00 GMT (though the URI changed.)' A lot has happened in 16 years and this little 'baby' has grown into quite the teenager."

    With that in mind

    I'm quite familiar with the whole story and regardless of what snopes says, I'm in the camp that Al Gore was trying to take credit where the credit was not his.

    Anyhoo, I'd worry more about his views on global warming than his views on him creating the intertubes.
