Institutions cards protect your side, and come back strong when you're losing.

The site, in 1992

The authoritative place to download TeX-related material and software, as the name, Comprehensive TeX Archive Network, says.

Repositories for other projects, such as the MiKTeX distribution of TeX, constantly mirror most of it.

Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
