No, I had no idea what I was looking at, I saw the Internet from college campus in 1989 and thought they were using modems to dial into a server in the U.S. It was a few months later when I realised a protocol I was researching to use on our LAN, TCP/IP was what the college tutor was talking about. There was no Internet to use to research, so I relied on a BBS called CIX (CompuLink Information Exchange). I met the head of DEC UK and the head of BT research labs on this BBS who explained it to me. I wanted to use it to connect our companies 3 mini computers in London, Los Angeles and Tokyo, but commercial traffic was banned, so I joined the campaign to lobby parliament to allow commercial traffic, which was passed a few months later. I got an Internet connection at work a month later, but couldn't connect to our U.S. or Japan companies as they didn't have access to the Internet, so I turned it commercial and started building data centres to host the servers required due to Tim Berners-Lee inventing the World Wide Web. I understood its potential from the beginning, but couldn't work out why everybody else thought it was a scam and only used by criminals and pornographers. Does that seem like a familiar story by any chance? 😂
