#2055 - last for now
A little guy goes into an elevator, looks up and sees this HUGE guy standing next to him. The big guy sees the little guy staring at him, looks down and says, "7 feet tall, 350 pounds, 20 inch penis, 3 pound left testicle, 3 pound right testicle, Turner Brown."
The small guy faints away and falls to the floor. The big guy kneels
down and brings him to, slapping his face and shaking him, "What's wrong with you?"
In a very weak voice the little guy says, "Excuse me, but what EXACTLY did you say to me?"
The big dude says, "I saw the curious look on your face and figured I'd just give you the answers to the questions everyone always asks me. I'm 7 feet tall, 350 pounds, 20 inch penis, 3 pound left testicle, 3 pound right testicle, and my name is Turner Brown."
The small guy says, "Thank God! I thought you said 'Turn Around'.

granted, probably not the best choice of words to say that it started up for for home use. Looking at the information on W3C.org and the history it would be safe to say that it was the first year that it was trully available to the non developers (i.e. the public).
Now, this is from personal recollection.... At the time it was browsable by text only and HTTP still had not replaced my favorite pass time for getting stuff: FTP (wuarchive, still around, being one of my all time favorites). Once the first versions of the browsers became available (beta versions of NCSA mosaic) my focus shifted to putting up a very early web page and seeing what was out there.
Guess I was in the right place at the right time: a college kid with too much time and a dorm room that actually had ethernet wired to it in 1992. At the time we all actually had PCs "on the net" without the worry, or need, for a firewall

2058 - It's cloudy over Battersea this morning, but there is just enough sunlight to operate the solar-powered fountain on my garden pond.
