The first experience of the World Wide Web......was "vague, but exciting" (CERN department head's reaction to Tim Berners-Lee's proposed computing network)
Scan of the original here: info.cern.ch/Proposal.html
Also you can see what the original web browser he and Robert Cailliau designed looked like here: info.cern.ch/NextBrowser.html Unfortunately most computers weren't powerful enough to run it, so it took years for average browsers to reach this level.
Met RC just before Christmas. Really nice guy, and ultimately a key player in convincing CERN that they should just give it away for free to the world.
