February 11 1991 byNicola Pellow , an intern working atCERN . The first stable version, 1.1 was released in January 1992.Tim Berners-Lee had already written the first browser,WorldWideWeb , but that program only worked onNeXT computers, which were in limited use. So, Berners-Lee and his team recruited Pellow to write a browser so basic that it could run on any computer in existence at that time. The name "line-mode browser" is derived from that fact that, in order to ensure compatibility with the earliestcomputer terminal s, such asTeletype machines, the program only displayed text one line at a time.ee also
