Technically speaking the word "Internet" is used prior to the invention of http. By "command line" I presume you mean "telnet" as that is the network service, the command line belonging to the operating system on the remote host. As I recall having to use gopher servers that returned emails received by UUCP which you had to vi together and then uudecode to get a simple GIF file was about as 0.0 as you can get. > Web 1.0 - HTML + Netscape Of course... > Web 2.0 - httpd + mysql + php (e.g. Mediawiki and phpGedView) I don't mean to be picky, but HTML + Netscape would have been useless without the http daemon to serve the pages in the first place, so it's certainly 1.0 (and probably 0.9 as in this chicken and egg situation, the server probably existed first) Mysql might be an open source version of Oracle, but plenty of DBMS systems existed before Netscape launched such as ScalableSQL, the bloody Microsoft Jet Engine, all perfectly usable with early Visual Basic. > Web 3.0 - can we stop counting now?? In proper Microsoft (Word, Excel) style, we will probably go straight from version 2.1 to 7.0 > > Zero, one, two, many. That's all we need!!! Every time I heard "two point oh" used by a journalist I want to explain to them in great depth that anything that is "point oh" is just this side of being a beta and probably won't work if you roll it out. I'm on Web 2.1.065.0017 I think... -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
