#1 "All sorts of things, too long for me to list here, are still out there waiting to be done. ... There are so many new things to make, limited only by our imagination..."

One thing's for sure - those individuals that are going to do these things aren't likely to be devout followers of Islam.

#3 Frank G. Are you kidding? When I say this on the main page I thought it WAS ABOUT Algore, maybe with a Scrappleface chaser. ....

#4 He certainly didn't do it by himself, lol, but he did envision it - kudos for that and a well-deserved award. The Mosaic team that made his ideas reality deserves a huge amount of credit - they did the lion's share of "fleshing out" spoken of in the snippet. One member of that team, you may recall his name: Marc Andreessen, went on to take that code (paid for by the US-Taxpayer - and in the public domain) and created NutScrape, er, um, I mean Netscape, another name you may recall.

Credit to Berners-Lee for seeing something that wasn't there, which can sometimes get you institutionalized. :-)
