Websites mentioning Mathilde μP

This website is designed in 2007. If you like have a look at my very first webpage from 1994. In 1994 World Wide Web was the buzzword. It was a network breakthrough; Seeing graphics immediatly in a page with links.
Most people still worked with ms-dos computers, like I did when I created that page. WWW replaced the text based link world of Gopherspace.
