Berners-Lee awarded

Posted by Hemos on Wednesday June 03, 1998 @06:40AM from the credit-where-it's-due dept.

The Patriach of the Web, Tim Berners-Lee joined an exclusive list of people to win a genius award. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation awarded him 270,000$US, of which he can spend on he pleases. The award was given in part for "a revolutionary communications system requiring minimal technical understanding." Pretty cool, and recognition (and cash!) for a guy who deserves it.
