Of course you are correct Stevan. I note that Berners-Lee created the code in 1989 in my post. But I probably should have titled this the 20th birthday of the OPEN or PUBLIC WWW.

Umm, the WWW was not born in 1994. It was born in 1990 and became part of
the Internet in 1991... (This year might be the 15th birthday of when Tim
B-L wrote the code, though...)
