Tim Berners Lee's original NeXT web server. I'm at the Science Museum in London.

@thor the most intriguing part of this to me is that he used a NeXT computer. Does it still boot?
@DistroJunkie Yes, he did use that. I couldn't see anything on the screen. However, none of the computers in the museum were running. Funny how Steve Jobs has, in various ways, had a hand in the WWW (NeXT was his post-Apple project), CG movies (he bought Pixar from Lucasfilm and invested in it) and the smartphone (after he was back at Apple). Might've been a bit of a prick, but was also a visionary and a cunning business man.
@DistroJunkie Tim was perhaps less of a visionary and more of a geek coming across something bigger than himself while toying with hypertext over TCP/IP. We're all glad he did it, but he probably didn't expect it to grow so big.
