You late comer, Ant. When I signed up with my ISP (about 1996), he gave 
me a copy of NN 0.9!

1994, and I had to download it myself using Mosaic!

You know. I might have used v0.9 briefly in Azusa Pacific University's 
Computer Science's UNIX lab PC.

My first browser was Mosaic. before that, I did a bit of Kermiting on a 
friend's computer. Another friend set up a BBS locally, but I didn't do 
BBS for some reason.

People who kvetch about browsers should be forced to go back to 
pre-browser times, just to get an idea of how good they have it.

For me it's people who bitch about how slow their current-day computers 
are!! Try an 8086 CPU with a 4.7 MHz (yes, MHz) clock!! Or an Apple IIE 
clone!

Switch on your computer, go make yourself a cup of Tea and then go out 
to Dinner and come back and the computer might have booted ... well, 
almost!! ;-)

Well, let's go more extreme.  When, if you wanted to look something up 
you had to (gasp!) go to a library! Or, if you were lucky enough to have 
a current encyclopedia in your house, open a big book and search for it.

I must admit, there is something comforting about holding a book in 
one's lap and flipping through the pages.  Almost as if your very 
existence is validated by the connection to the written word.

And, your original thought, your quest, well, there it is, found!

Which is great.  Until you look at the copyright date of the tome and 
it's 1957.  Oh.  Oops!

Although, it might still be valid.  And if not, it could be historically 
interesting.

Or we could just Google it.

Sigh.  And here we are.

The problem with online searches is that people forget that somebody had 
to decide to put it up, and more importantly, also decided how to format 
it. This is specially so with statistics, which too often give you 
tables or graphs of percentage changes without the base data. That can 
be very misleading. Eg, 50% of 100 is much less than 1% of 100,000.

While people know that Google puts up the most popular results first, 
that doesn't affect their behaviour much (over 90% of searchers do not 
go past the first page). And while there is a lot of data available, 
there's also a lot more that's not available.

I find that a paper-book search is often quicker than a google search. 
Even Wikipedia searches don't yield the data I want about 20-30% of the 
time. Either no article, or buried in several article. My ancient 
paper-pedias OTOH

Nevertheless, I do a lot of online searching.

Sigh.

I miss the library's card catalog.  Back when I used to have to write 
papers you could browse to find more references to the subject of 
interest.  At least I think that's the way it worked, but that was a 
long time ago.  I LIKED rummaging through the drawers.

Doing the same thing via the library's website is way more convenient: 
Look for a book;  ask that it be sent to the library up the street from 
wherever it is now;  or perhaps ask that it be sent from a distant 
library;  or perhaps even ask the library to BUY a copy -- which they 
might do if you make a good enough argument.

The card catalog was still there last time I went to the main branch 
several years ago, but maybe now it's part of the Big Bang Theory set -- 
or maybe that's the catalog from one of the branch libraries.

Incidentally, they frequently use real Pasadena settings, although the 
view out of their apartment window is impossible and is certainly not 
located on Los Robles.  The views out the car windows look familiar 
(I've lived here for 56 years) but I've only been able to identify ONE 
-- where they parked once.  I did find the building on the roof of which 
Bernadette and Howard were married.

Sorry, Ed, the library is closed from about 5:00-5:30p.m., and I usually 
don't come on-line until about 7:00p.m.!! ;-P

I remember when I got my first computer. It was a Tandy 25MHz. A couple 
of my computer geek nephews came over and they couldn't believe how 
blazingly fast my computer was.
