Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Welcome, ! When I had breast cancer 17 years ago, I sure wished there had been a supportive place for my kids (ages 5 to 19); the Web hadn't been invented yet and there was nothing in our small city. How is your mother doing now? Is she still in treatment? My best to both of you, Nan --- Lincoln wrote: > I know that I have just joined but I must say > congrads to all of you > for the strength and love that you all potray!

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Actually, a little trivia, the web was invented back then, it was only for intellectual snobs at that time. ;-) It may have been more like 15 years ago though. Anyway, there were think groups that conversed with each other and had web pages to discuss things like science and physics and such. I do remember, and very much miss the days, when I could surf for something important and there were only 100 or 200 websites on the subject and they were mostly from scholars, not a bunch of places trying to sell you miracle cures or something. Looking up something for a project for my son or some information about some famous person was so much easier back in the mid to late nineties. Now it's just too much input.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Actually not quite... the Web didn't exist back when I got cancer (1988). We had only the Gopher, which was all ASCII text. The Web as we know it, with pictures & HTML, was invented in 1995 by Tim Berners-Lee. It was still a fine place through the late 1990s, though, and I agree with you about its usefulness for scholars before it went commercial. --- June wrote: > Actually, a little trivia, the web was invented back > then, it was only for > intellectual snobs at that time. ;-) It may have > been more like 15 years > ago though.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Yes, that's right, the Web has only been in wide use for 10 years. -- though the Internet began in the 60s, the World Wide Web wasn't easily browsable until 1995, thanks to the development of graphical browsers (first Mosaic, then Netscape). Prodigy, Clarinet, etc., were earlier Internet services. The Living Internet is a handy reference for cyberhistory: http://www.livinginternet.com/w/wi_lee.htm --- June wrote: > That would make the web only 10 years old.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi everyone, June, thanks for the trivia. I didn't start really using google maybe a year ago. So you were way ahead of me. I finally finished my radiation treatments. YEA!!! I will have to go to the oncologist soon for my medicine either Tamifen or Arimidex. Has anyone experienced any side effects with these drugs?

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi everyone, June, thanks for the trivia. I didn't start really using google maybe a year ago. So you were way ahead of me. I finally finished my radiation treatments. YEA!!! I will have to go to the oncologist soon for my medicine either Tamifen or Arimidex. Has anyone experienced any side effects with these drugs?
