Clearing out some boxes in the loft; found this 1994 university newsletter announcing availability of the World Wide Web, using xmosaic. I like the note about if you want to access information in other countries it’s best to use it in the morning as the Internet has been very busy recently.

I can already foresee issues with Trump’s latest executive order mandating watering crops with Brawndo; I mean, what if it’s not electrolytes that they need? It’s idiocracy if you ask me!

Interesting Google Meet bug;
The screen sharer sees only the window in the foreground, but the receiver sees this glitch, revealing the window behind (on the screen sharer’s machine), which could potentially be embarrassing, as in this demo.
