    Such a shame. You used to be quite witty. You're half the teabhoy you were.

    Most of the networks you listed weren't open to the public, only to academics and/or employees of the corporate organisations that created/ran them.

    Apples to Oranges

    What date/year was 'The Internet' (World Wide Web) made public, to everyone globally?

    At least NAT tried to address the substance of my post, rather than being a tedious pedant vis-a-vis 'The Internet' vs 'The World Wide Web', like you have.

    Do you think maybe, just maybe, you're comparing apples to oranges?

    History books & Wikipedia are available for you to find the answer to your last question btw.
