"Jim! Jim! I've got great news!"
Excited, Dean just stepped into Netscape's office and couldn't help shouting aloud.
"I'm here!" Jim Clark poked his head out of the office.
Sure enough, Dean knew he would be here.
Ever since Netscape's Explorer browser download surpassed 500,000, Clark hardly went to SGI at all.
He truly treated this place as the center of his entire business; SGI probably really just remained a name.
"What's the good news?" As soon as Dean entered, Clark couldn't wait to ask.
He felt a vague expectation in his heart, for Dean came to him at this time, surely about Netscape's affairs.
"Berners-Lee just sent a message, the European nuclear agency has almost agreed to his request!"
"So hypertext language is about to become open source code?!" Clark's eyes widened.
"Exactly! But the official announcement won't be made until December."
Dean's face, wearing a smile he couldn't hide, had come straight from the Knowledge Exploration Company.
