Re: American Pie (Fight?) (none / 1)

The Internet and the World Wide Web are two separate components. The Internet is the infrastructure ('pipes'), the www is the data handling (pumps)

www is one data handling (the html-based), though nowadays the others (ftp, gopher, usenet) are marginalised, except for the newer p2p.

Noooooooo!

There are much more datat handling possibilities than the www. To name one you probably use: email.

But there are others too.
