If there were a key event, in my mind it was the Netscape IPO in the summer of 1995. That not only got the dotcom craze going, but because it was a such a spectacular Wall Street event, it also woke up everyone in big business that something was happening with 'that web thing' that might be more than just a techie fad.

The original broadcast was on October 8, 1993 on CBC Television. It is posted at the following url along with a few other historical tech clips from the 60's, 70's and 80's. <a href="http://archives.cbc.ca/400d.asp?id=1-75-710-4205" rel="nofollow">http://archives.cbc.ca/400d.asp?id=1-75-710-4205</a> BTW: I'm looking for a video clip or headline news clipping that refers to that period when corporate web sites went from being a luxury to an absolute necessity of doing business (mid 90's). I need it for a power point presentation. If any one can point to an appropriate url that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing that clip Ken.
