It would appear, then, that Al Gore basically said the truth about his
role in creating the Internet?

Am I missing anything?

The main thing you are missing is that the internet started before Al
Gore was in Congress.

No, Gore was elected to Congress in 1976.

And Internet was not called Internet in its first years.

And that his votes on expanding the internet
were matched by a majority of Congress. I personally think the
internet would have expanded at the same rate regardless of what one
senator did or did not do. Google " internet history ".

My best guess is that I started using the internet about 1984 or 1985.

Then you were either a military or a university user. The first
commercial mail network on the Internet was MCI Mail, in 1988.


I started using internet in 1994. Registered algebra.com in 1995.
