I think there certainly was a milestone in the '90s with regards to the Internet achieving critical mass. There were several magical factors that came together: the creation of HTML by Tim Berners-Lee, the drop in the price of communications, and all the PCs out there that you could put this software into.
Bill Gates
Does the universe exist only for me? It's possible. If so, it's sure going well for me, I must admit.
