Mosaic/WWW in the NYT

Yes - the Web and the worlds favourite browser got a full page in today's
New York Times business  section.  Large photo of Supercomputing Center's
boss sitting with Mosaic on front page of Business section.


Surprisingly, they got everything right - all the network tech, all the
jargon and even managed to mention some of the problems.  The article
touts Mosaic as the 'killer app' the internet world has been waiting for.
Or rather, that Joe Average has been waiting for...  They see people
like O'Reilly and others building new commercial services off the Web.
Also mentions the effect that Mosaic has had on network congestion.


Finally - it mentions Internet-in-a-box that will include a dial-up
version of a web browser (apparently), so the great unwashed masses of
the world and connect to the Web and the internet without a lot of
hassles.


Best quote:  It's the difference between the brain and the mind.  Explore
the Internet and you find cables and computers; explore the World Wide
Web and you find information.
