:lol:

Forgetting developers with or without train sets, whom amongst us without Googling, can tell us who Sir Tim Berners-Lee was, and what he gave us?

Honestly? ;)

But MS, their Word product instantly increased our work output 5 fold when they released Word 95 (after V6 I think). Even though we had only 0.5 MB hard drive space, and minimal ram at the time. I use to stash many PC drives in our storeroom, and distribute the popular hardware magazine at the time to dozens of employees PC Mag (bit.ly) (Google Books for 1995). The After Hours section was popular (gaming).

Sad to see Wordperfect (remember the reveal codes? those who used it) and lotus 1-2-3 go. Excel had buried that product.
