I don't think Nginx was out then, so I was using Apache HTTPD. Maybe Dwayne considered that too heavy for what he needed to serve up.

Nginx was first released to the public in 2004 [1]. Apache was released in 1995 [2].

On a more personal note, wow! I had no idea I started using the Internet for realz before the release of Apache, in 1994. This young made me feel, not.

Nginx’s first public release was Oct 2004, so fits with your theory.
