AL Gore never said that. Funny how all the Bush haters want to believe THAT thing Bush said about Gore.

Reminds me of one of those prank phone calls i heard where the guy phones up the computer shop and says
"i want to buy an internet". Guy in shop says "you can't buy an internet, you need to buy a comp, then get connected to the net" "i don't want a computer, just an internet" :1orglaugh |

Fact is the "internet" has ben around sicne the late 60's it's not until the mid 90's that it became the internet as we know it. It became that way because of legislation passes in the US Congress and if you look at it, it was sponsored by AL GORE. So in a sense, he was right and you know that. Now grow the fuck up. You knew what he meant. |
I highly doubt anyone with the nick "gaybucks" would be a Bush supporter

Well, I'm no Bush lover, and I don't think I need a whole lot of help in the maturity department. Al's quote is what it is, and while Al did "get it" before most of the rest of Congress did, his claim was a gross exaggeration by pretty much everyone's interpretation, Democrat and Republican. Vint Cerf (who along with Tim Berners-Lee could probably more than anyone claim credit for early work in establishing protocols that became what we know as the Net and the Web today) and several other early pioneers said that Al did contribute significantly by helping with early funding and visibility, but he hardly "took the initiative in creating the Internet" because, as you said, ARPAnet was around in the early 70s, Usenet and email was around since the late 70s. My own first use of the ARPANet was in 1977, so I do know a lil about the early days. And... Al made fun of himself later in talking about that statement, so even he acknowledged that it was a bit of an exaggeration. Not trying to create waves, just trying to be accurate. |
BTW, GatorB, our birthdays are one day apart, so if you believe in astrology, you know why we're bickering :)
