I didn't know Al Gore created Internet

He didn't... TCP/IP had nothing to do with him, nor did the creation of packet switching or IPTO's.

That's what I meant

I remember he was ridiculed by many tech guys who already been using bbs.

I think I used to have 800 or 900 baud (?) modem and it was fast at that time
Or, was it 1200?

October 29 is known as the anniversary of the Internet. I think May 17 is nothing day.

What radio show?

Also, I am not necessarily an Al Gore fan, but do a do a search for
"Al Gore" Internet
if curious about his role.
