| 624059 | 2007-12-23 23:31:00 | Whilst going through my PC World archive, I came across these amusing quotes from the September 1996 article on the construction of '@IDG', the forerunner to this current PC World site. The interviewer's reply to the list of server specs: "64mb of RAM? Ouch. That sounds like an expensive PC." and, on discussion of the Intranet browser: "We bought a 10-user Netscape Navigator licence on the logic that no more than 10 of IDG's 60 employees would be Web browsing at any time." How times change! |
