    Well, in the Queen's New Year's Honours list, Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the world-wide web, was knighted.

    If it wasn't for him, I'd have a hell of a time trying to stay in touch with friends and family around the world, not to mention keeping up to date with all the latest on the Rockets.

    Thanks, Tim!

    To paraphrase Nelson Muntz from the Simpsons..."I he hadn't done it, some other geek would have!"
