;-)  Well, strictly speaking yes, but . . .

Perhaps more closely,  actually I would say the NIC and NLS was 
really the first database system on the net.  Then there were the CCA 
guys who were really trying to do distributed databases.  But I don't 
remember when they were up and running.  And also the National 
Software Works!

Take care,
