2. 18-jan-962. ETH-W4 (ra)2 feedback from 4th WWW 95 first impressions: over 2000 attendees very well organized  2 rooms with PCs & MACs for Internet access with good performance

3. 18-jan-962. ETH-W4 (ra)3 feedback from 4th WWW 95 key messages: $the Web goes commercial !  security, privacy and authentication will become big issues !  there will be a tough battle about the HTML and HTTP standards !  with HTML, we may end up in a similar situation as with UNIX (various dialects) !

4. 18-jan-962. ETH-W4 (ra)4 feedback from 4th WWW 95 quality:  tutorials: security tutorial was voted best tutorial (i agree with that)  papers: generally ok with some very interesting speeches (e.g. caching)  developers day: somewhat disappointing (is the W3C in control of the standards ?)

5. 18-jan-962. ETH-W4 (ra)5 feedback from 4th WWW 95 my feelings about the Web:  appearance is more important than contents !  more unnecessary load on the network because of background pictures, “nice” rulers and other stuff we don’t really need !  there is a new fever out there: counters everywhere ! they screw caching proxies !
