Легенды и мифы Интернета гласят, что Бернерс-Ли написал Интернет на Чорной Коробке Джобса — компьютере NeXT. Достаточно персональном по нынешним меркам. В ней же якобы и хостили Древний Интернет. В начале начал Интернет был меньше одного компьютера. :)

Mike Sendall buys a NeXT cube for evaluation, and gives it to Tim [Berners-Lee]. Tim's prototype implementation on NeXTStep is made in the space of a few months, thanks to the qualities of the NeXTStep software development system. This prototype offers WYSIWYG browsing/authoring! Current Web browsers used in 'surfing the internet' are mere passive windows, depriving the user of the possibility to contribute. During some sessions in the CERN cafeteria, Tim and I try to find a catching name for the system. I was determined that the name should not yet again be taken from Greek mythology..... Tim proposes 'World-Wide Web'. I like this very much, except that it is difficult to pronounce in French... by Robert Cailliau, 2 November 1995.[33]
