This Day In History
On March 12, 1989, Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer programmer working at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory, sent in a proposal for an information management system. His boss responded with a note that read "vague but exciting." Today, we call this information management system the World Wide Web.

Quote Of The Day
"Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves." Tim Berners-Lee
