On Friday, August 30, 1996, at 2:03 PM CDT in Omaha, Nebraska USA the spring2life.com WWW address became operational. (You can also use www.spring2life.com to get to it.) It was set up by Mike at Novia Internetworking . (Their phone number is (402) 391-4005 in the USA.) Dan Boeckman then loaded the first HTML file named index.html to the link named "spring2life.com". This was just a test HTML file also named index.html from Dan's Home Page at www.geocities.com . (This is a site that provides FREE home pages to anyone.)
