It was in my childhood day.

For good or for bad, Microsoft dropping the idea of “The MSN Network” as a proprietary network and finally “getting” the internet has to be up there, if only for the introduced simplification of connection and mass adoption it bought.

1998 - When Comodo Was Created

10 March, 1968 - When the greatest man ever was born

but in all honesty; I believe the greatest thing to happen in the Internet World. and the worst was Social Interaction. and Interaction between bits and humans.

I haven’t been using a computer for a long time (only started in earnest about 7-8 years ago), but I suppose some big events in my book are:

When I found out about Comodo
When I found out about Firefox
When I got my laptop ( ;D)
When the bigger ■■■■■ sites were started ;D
When I found out about them 88)

Who’s that?
