Role of librarians

[Elisabeth Roche]

I started using slip and graphical browsers on February 13, 1995.  A
wondeful day!
I started 'netting using gopher, lynx and the "deep dark space of Dos" on
July 23, 11:52 pm 1994.  

So, why not forget this fight over "history" maybe each of ours is a little
different.
Unless you are an Internet Historian leave us to our happy memories, when we
first came online and had the
future stare us in the face, as we hoped.!!


some of us just didn't have access to other programs, and don't forget last
October, 1994, when the WWW swept the college unix servers!!
