Here comes the weirdest DIY marketing tool I have seen. This was forwarded to me by a friend a while back. I took a look at it and though, "Um, hmm."

Here is a well done history of the Internet. It contains a time line highlighting the most critical events in the net development. Relive past thrills. Remember those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it!

A few examples from the time line:

1978: Dan Bricklin invents the spreadsheet. It will be 5 more years before anyone knows what they're for, and another decade before anyone knows how to use them.

and

1999: First ISP created. Business is slow due to the fact that the Internet has no purpose, nobody knows about it, and more people own Betamax machines than computers.

Thanks to Dan Hunter for the opportunity.

The power supply for this thing is huge!
