I save every single email I've ever sent.  Not the email I receive, just the stuff I send.  Maybe I have delusions that historians and biographers will find my writings important.  It is somewhat embarrassing to admit this, but I figure not many people will click down this far in my web site.  I've found some of the gems and put them in appropriate places on the web site.  Saves the historians and biographers the trouble of reading tons and tons of email looking for the good stuff.

Anyhow, I've been playing with the web for a long time.  Probably longer than Al Gore, and he invented it (actually, Gore just claimed to have funded one of the precursors to the Internet, which is true).  After my first surf on the Internet, I wrote this prescient email to Rob:

I've been playing with Mosaic (a World Wide Web browser) while waiting for compiles to finish lately.  I'm good at finding things, but not good at finding things that I am looking for (not that I really look for anything).  There are some neat weather maps, movie databases (with excellent hypertext links), and recipe collections.  This could be a real time-waster if I ever got into it.

This was back in the day when there was a list of all the sites on the web, and each day it would be updated with any new sites that had come online.

Now fetch Grandpa his lemonade and let him tell you another story about this stuff called "film" that we used to put in our cameras...
