Thank you Don, retirement is mostly boring but has its moments. Plodigy was back in the daze of dial up BBS servers & 2400 baud modems. Had my own domain because providers were changing about daily, .us domain is one of the earliest.
To me the internet is people not things, web is Tim Berners-Lee and port 80 and the flaws in early https (443) think I have a copy of Mosaic here.....somewhere. Before the web we had Archie and Veronica. Back in the '80s and '90s it was the wild wild west, the Internet was defined by "Requests for Comments" and were discussed. And now Win 11 is being fun, fun, fun (some of the CPUs on The List don't work).

ps in 1984 when I came to work at Martin & trundled in my Columbia VP1600 (amber screen) was consternation. IBM PCs were to connect to the mainframe and the province of managers, something I always avoided.
