World's first web page brought back from the dead for 20th anniversary

Today marks a hugely important day in the history of the Internet: On April 30th, 1993, Al Gore published the world's first ever public website. Ok, so perhaps Mr. Gore wasn't involved, but today is indeed the 20th anniversary of the World Wide Web becoming available to the public. Tim Berners-Lee and his team at CERN headed the WWW project and published the world's first public web page at http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html. To celebrate the 20-year milestone, CERN decided to bring the page back online in its original form. The resurrection of the world's first web page is part of a larger effort at CERN to revive the web's early history, and the page is now live for everyone to enjoy.
