      A Boeing employee taught me basic HTML at an ONR facility open house. She couldn't explain to me "but how do I make the text bold?" (1996)https://twitter.com/jergason/status/887688092710088704 …

      Friends, what is your tweet-sized tech origin story? Mine is: while 19 & living in Brazil, a friend said I should try CS. I did, loved it!

      (Later that summer, Netscape Navigator Gold would come to support webpages having background colors. Which seems inconceivably long ago now)

      Omg: so you used to be able to make "animations" by having a series of body bgcolor tags. It would load each one with just enough delay..

      Also, I'm not kidding, I used to read serious arguments about whether or not HTML should be in all caps at all times. And then the 4.0 spec!

      I remember having to use 3.2 instead of 4 because of "backward compatibility"

      I remember serious, vitriolic, heartfelt battles about whether one should italicize with <em> or with <I>.

      Also when CSS ruined the good, simple way of making websites: using tables with the borders turned off.

          All of the sites I made in tables still look exactly the same Nothing I've ever made w/ CSS, etc looks the same after a few years
