Q. "I Really enjoy your newsletter every day... Lotsa Fun... I lost the site with the man who knows all about THE SOPRANOS... Could you list it again? Thanx alot."

A. No Prob. This site is a good example of a guy who has a "passion" for something and wants to share it with the world. Are you an expert at something that you can share with many other people thru the magic of the Internet? Think about it. Here's the site that you requested...

The U.S. Department of Defense laid the foundation of the Internet roughly 30 years ago with a network called ARPANET. Limited to educational and scientific use, ARPANET was a very technical experiment.

The general public didn't use the Internet much until after the development of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s. Basicaly, the World Wide Web is a graphical document standard (based upon a computer language called HTML) that allows the sharing of millions and millions of documents (Web Pages) among all those who are connected to the network of computers known as the INTERNET (formerly known as ARPANET).

As recently as June 1993, there were only 130 Web sites. Now there are millions and millions of Web sites. It was the "easy to use" graphical nature of HTML documents that contributed greatly to the growth of the World Wide Web as we know it.

No one authority controls the World Wide Web. Today's Web site authoring tools allow virtually anyone who has access to a computer and the Internet to post a Web site and contribute to the definition of what this medium is and what it can do.

All of this in just the last few years... and you ain't seen nothing yet. What a great time in history to be alive!
