Default the OSCARS!


During my
service in the
United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the
Internet.


I remember sometime back in 1991 when Physicist Paul Kunz called me into his
office and wanted me to take a picture of his what was on his monitor. He
called it; "www" and told me this will be one of the major break-throughs
for researching with a
computer. I photographed a lot of screen photos here at
the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Paul also hinted to me that I should
start thinking of attaching my name to a few www domains like ATT.com or
IBM.com., sky was the limit back then, heck I thought he was just another
mad physicist off his rocker.
Here's a link to the article:

Of course Paul has now made his + millions.
I also just emailed publications to see if they could dig
up that picture I took of Dr. Kunz. with his monitor back in '91.
fwiw,
