As due noted, I have fine credibility,

I guess the confusion comes from the fact that left-leaning persons can't comprehend "initiative". But the real question is what, if anything, did Gore actually do to create the modern Internet? According to Vincent Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom who's been called the Father of the Internet, "The Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the Vice President in his current role and in his earlier role as Senator." The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen, credits Gore with making his work possible. He received a federal grant through Gore's High Performance Computing Act. The University of Pennsylvania's Dave Ferber says that without Gore the Internet "would not be where it is today." Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia University, claims that Gore "was perhaps the first political leader to grasp the importance of networking the country. Could we perhaps see an end to cheap shots from politicians and pundits about inventing the Internet?" THAT'S initiative. Sean will not respond to the specifics you've provided above. He can't. Anybody can cut-and-paste quotes from a single website. And that's all it took to prove you dead wrong. Now, where IS that quote that you and Rush and Hannity hold so dear?? Who's quoted opinions above do you disagree with? Vincent Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom? Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia University? The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen? Which ones and why? None of the above. I was part of a company in the middle 80's writing among other things a terminal program called Interlink for the Atari ST. That for those of you new to computing, was based on a Motorola 68000 running at 8 KHz with 512k of memory and a Graphic user interface called GEM. The Atari was a little faster than a Mac and had at the time Industry standard hardware like Midi port, floppy drive compatible with the 3 1/2 drive in the PC and a modified SCSI port. The point of this was that the GEM interface and drawing utilities were in ROM in the computer. A simple 8 byte call to the GEM library could call a drawing routine that would create a circle and fill it with a pattern. Same with a line, rectangle, triangle and text. These were the tools to build an interface for a terminal program that would resemble what we have with our current generation of Web Browsers but able to work with 2400 baud modems. We created a prototype but didn't think it would sell as the Atari had too small a market share for BBS and national services like CompuServe to support it. For the user interface we see today to evolve we needed more market share, Chicken and egg! Information available nationally created demand that created the need for a easier information tool (web browsers) which created more demand. Darpa net being integrated into a net that linked universities step 1 Gore has a part in that as did many other Senators. Since Democrats controlled the Senate at that time...they get the credit. University students creating PD programs to easily access the info, grants to the most prolific, again Democrats controlled the Senate. These early machines were generally Unix machines not PCs. The internet as we have it today was market driven. Gore can not take credit for that. The Internet could have been created 15 years earlier IF the PC had been created with a 68000 and had a graphics user interface standard. The Mac, Amiga and Atari while VASTLY superior (by 20 times) the PC of the 80's couldn't get the market share the PC got because of the combination of the market draw of the IBM name and the ignorance of the consumer in buying the first , second and third generation PC (8086, 80286, 80386, 80486 The forth generation PC with a Pentium 60 Mhz processor was the equal of a 16 Mhz 68000 computer. At the Release of the Pentium, Motorola has a 68030 at 30 Mhz that was 5 times faster than the Pentium, |

And IBM picked the Intel architecture because it was not as good as a Mote 68k chip. Did not want to impact the sales of the AS400 line. |
