What connection to the Internet did servers use back then? And what CPU, RAM, hard disk and operating system configurations did they typically have?

**Fiesialenp** · 04-21-2010, 02:20 PM

What´s up with the strange questions all the time ?

What was the Internet like in 1996?
What were hard disks like 20 years ago?
How much longer can we keep sending up space satellites?
What was the most demanding (on PC hardware) game of 1997
How common were VCRs back in the 1970s?
Honestly dude, you have the weirdest Questions

It's weirder that you index these things.

BTW, I'm aware.

I'd love to know too, your questions do seem a little strange perhaps you could enlighten us?

Slower than servers today

**astefecyAvevy** · 04-21-2010, 03:00 PM

Depends on what they were used for; there were no http servers in those days.

AS/400's were pretty popular for a lot of things

World wide web was invented at the time, but first browser came around 1993, and usage of the word internet came common in 1996. There were various interconnected networks before that..

Isn't that the other way round? The world wide web was a term coined for the visual information part of the Internet. I'm old and my memory isn't what it was though.

He is right, the word internet was getting popular before that though. People didn't realize that the internet and the World Wide Web were different things, like "iPods".

Well Tim Berners Lee's first web server in 1990 was a NeXT Computer. They had Motorola 68030 running at 25MHz and up to 16MB of RAM.

AS/400 needs to die a bloody death (Staples (the company)) still uses it for inventory, and it SUCKS. Burn it! [thumbdown]
