In 1991, (quoting @PitthanRainer) “Well. on September 13 (I believe) 1991 I had a coffee on the Terrace of the CERN Main Cafeteria when Paul Kunz joined us. He came from somewhere teaching UNIX and was going to see Wim Berners-Lee, per Wim's request.” #web30 #ForTheWeb
In 1991, (per @PitthanRainer, the father of dear late friend, Jasmine):

In 1991, “...for physicists, SPIRES-HEP. If you wanted to use SPIRES then you had to log on to SLAC_VM from CERN_VM (that is you had to have an account, both of which I had being on sabbatical from SLAC). #web30 #ForTheWeb
In 1991, “On the www angle I did not contribute greatly, even so I had one of the few NeXT machines & accounts & since Louise Addis came by one evening late looking for testers, asking me if I wanted to use the world wide web (the "world wide what" I asked)...” #web30 #ForTheWeb
