First Mention of ColdFusion on the Internet?

I was just looking for some info on Google Groups and I think I may have found what appears to be the first mention of ColdFusion on the internet by it’s founder J.J. Allaire.

I suppose that means it’s 10th birthday is coming up pretty soon, eh? It’s cool to think I’ve been using a language for the majority of it’s life, though not quite as long as the early adopters in the community who’ve been using it since CF 1.5!

    FYI -

    J.J. and Jeremy Allaire are actually two different people. Just in case you want to clean up that link from J.J.’s name to Jeremy’s blog.

    By the way, the Internet Archive at archive.org had several timepoints from the Allaire Alive part of the Allaire website. There it had cached parts of a collage in different time points. I found the parts and reassembed them into a single image here:

    Its retro like ColdFusion meets the Brady Bunch.

    Very cool Steven. I was actually going to check archive.org out yesterday as well to see what they had for allaire.com but didn’t get around to it. Mostly I thought it was pretty cool to come across a newsgroup posting about it. :)
