Tim Berners-Lee invented the Internet, not Bill Gates.
Now there you go again, Dale, spreading dysinformation about the Web, the Net, and all things IT. As I said on the Board that dare not speak its name because of the Imaginary Hileman Protocol, Mr Berners-Lee did not invent the Internet. He invented the Web in 1991. You may want to read a book by M Mitchell Waldrop, Dream Machines: J C R Licklider and the Revolution That Made Computing Personal, 2001. It's available in paperback and is a fun and compelling read. It might help to set you straight on the history of personal computing.
[Fixed title of book.]
