"Nothing but the web"?

"Nothing but the web"??

How can you be so tantalizingly close to such a glorious tagline as "Nothing but net" and not use it?

AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I saw "Nothing but net" used as a slogan for a dialup Internet product in 1995. It was a little too precious, even fifteen years ago.

That's even worse than the AOL demo CDs I got which said, in enormous letters, "56K TURBO!"

Has our collective taste improved since then? It often seems that way.

Makes one think... If fifteen years ago someone thought that dialup makes everything that's not online obsolete, they were of course gravely wrong. What does this say about Chrome OS? Will we sitting in 2025, smirking about the naivete that made some think that in 2010 nothing but the web is required?

There are several trademarks for "nothing but net". I didn't find any for "nothing but web" but there may be some in process applications that I can't see.

Could have said "nothing but 'net".
