   As others have pointed out - Lee specced the WWW initial architecture.

   Bolt, Beranek and Newman, MIT, and (IIRC) UCLA were the main centers of 
the development of what was then called ARPANET - a 'fail-safe', 
fault-tolerant communication system designed to survive the aftermath of a 
nuclear attack on the US.


  I have a Model 35KSR that we *think* may have been used as a console on 
one of the early ARPANET Message Processors.
