This NeXT Computer was used by Sir Tim Berners-Lee at CERN and became the world's first Web server.

The World Wide Web functions as an application layer protocol that is run "on top of" (figuratively) the Internet, helping to make it more functional. The advent of the Mosaic web browser helped to make the web much more usable, to include the display of images and moving images (GIFs).

The Line Mode Browser (also known as LMB, WWWLib, or just www ) is the second web browser ever created.

In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee had already written the first browser, WorldWideWeb (later renamed to Nexus), but that program only worked on the proprietary software of NeXT computers, which were in limited use.

He used similar ideas to those underlying the ENQUIRE system to create the World Wide Web, for which he designed and built the first web browser.

His software also functioned as an editor (called WorldWideWeb, running on the NeXTSTEP operating system), and the first Web server, CERN HTTPd (short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon).

English mathematician and information scientist who was one of the nineteen members of the WWW Project at CERN working with Tim Berners-Lee.

Almost immediately after Berners-Lee completed the WorldWideWeb web browser for the NeXT platform Pellow was tasked with creating a browser using her recently acquired skills in the C programming language.
