I remember when Jack first showed me the WWW on a Mosaic browser we had running at home. Our first Internet service provider (dial-up, of course) required Jack to bring in our Windows box to their office (this must have been Win3.1) so they could install the Winsock stack since people couldn't get it running otherwise. I guessing this was some time in early 1994, because Jack registered our domain name "stardel.com" a few months later. We had used some of the proprietary on-line services for a few years, but gratefully bailed when we could get the "real Internet."

I thought the WWW looked pretty cool, but my first comment was "this is going to suck up a lot of bandwidth." Since we both worked for MCI at that time, this was a Good Thing. I did not think it would become so popular with non-techies so quickly.
