    This date is a very special one for all of us.
    Not for what will happen tomorrow, but for what happened on 12 March 1989 (exactly 30 years ago).
    And, we all have to thank the Brit Tim Berners-Lee for it:

    Thanks to him the world wide web was introduced.
    The first website (still active) that he put online was info.cern.ch
    Only 30 years ago and it already looks like ages!

    Sorry, I forgot that some people want a link to click on:
    ===> info.cern.ch <===

    That website is so weird, lol! I wasn't even alive 30 years ago, but it's so interesting the way the URL is formatted, like having info.cern.ch/hypertext/... as a folder lol. Also, the help section tells you to click things with your mouse, and one of them says to double click... did you use to have to double click links?
