Surprisingly enough the first picture transfered on a web page was not porn, but it was the women of CERN.

Boy does that take me back. I was a media lawyer in NYC and one of the trade magazines I monitored talked about a Compuserve/Internet email gateway. What was this Internet thingie? I was fascinated. Soon I stumbled upon PANIX (the third ISP listed in the article - its name was based on "Public Access Unix" - unix systems such as the one you might use at your college or government job had tcp/ip built in and were oftem networked to the Internet). Panix gave you a shell account on a Mac running unix and a net connection. Soon I thought "I could do what PANIX was doing in my home in NJ" so I started an early ISP. I had a 56K DDS connection to USENET, a dozen telephone lines into my home, 12 modems, about 100 customers. The Internet has provided a good living since then. Those early days were so much fun. The author of sendmail once answered one of my questions. It was like having Bill Gates call you to tell you how to create a Windows backup disk.

They left out AOL mailing out roughly a billion floppies and CD's, becoming the internet leader until people realized just how much suck it had.

Please forgive me for this but from the ISP owner above. In the beginning one had to compile or make work dozens of programs (email readers, usenet news readers, email and usenet transports, ways to keep track of who paid and who did not. It was a big job. Each ISP owner helped others over the net. When something worked the adjitive applied was "joy". Exemple, "I tried your complier flags and did exactly everything that you said and, no joy". I think that was cribbed from avaiation. When it worked "joy" when it failed "no joy". The early years of Internet Service Provider was full of Joy even if more effort failed then worked.

Off-topic, but an important heads-up for any blogger: watch out about re-using stuff you've found on the web.
Ace reports:"A company called Righthaven is purchasing the copyrights to the content in many media outlets and suing bloggers who republish that content." -

Actually what's shown there is not a coax Ethernet connector but a RJ-45 UTP jack. The original Ethernet method of wiring buildings was a total disaster. Since it could only go 500 meters, you had bridges everywhere. The transceivers used vampire taps and the resistors on the ends of the cables were always going bad, and they typically were hidden in some plenum in the ceiling. The system we all use nowadays was invented in the late 80's at Bell Laboratories in Holmdel, NJ, by a guy named Bill Aranguren and his group. Since Bill didn't have much lab space and I did, much of the testing of the concept was done in my lab. They had several racks that looked like big wooden coat racks with wire draped back and forth. The secrets are careful control of the waveforms so they don't crosstalk with the other two pairs which can be used for 2B+D voice and control of the insulation on the pairs so the wires are precisely spaced and the dielectric coefficient of the insulators is well controlled. Therefore, we now have 10Base-T, 100Base-T and even 1000Base-T over various Cat4, Cat5, and nowadays Cat6 cables.
End of Lesson.

James P. Hogan (7 June 1941 – 12 July 2010 - RIP) wrote in "The Genesis Machine", 1978, about the "Infonet"... Many other Sci Fi authors wrote about computer networks across space and time. Vision that political leaders cannot even fathom.
