Though the Military called it officially as the ARPANET, it has been called the internet since its inception in 1969. What Gore sponsored was an early version of the Web. Obviously he didn't have a clue as to what his in this bill as he didn't enven know the proper name. Thank you for this information "Sport Pilot" but my point wasn't who literally invented the internet, it was that Gore has been unfairly characterized as having claimed he had done so. In fact he never said that, but some people love to hate him so that they continue to throw out that quote anyway. It played well in the conservative talk shows. Corky Scott If Gore wasn't always trying to take credit for stuff he had little to nothing to do with, then he wouldn't be the laughing stock of the late night talk shows. Tony |
