Thanks, Tora, Tora, Tora, but these two answers don’t seem to go with the preamble:
Similar to a word ladder, each answer provides letters that must appear – including duplicates – in the answer immediately following it. The puzzle’s final answer is a scientist or someone who contributed to science.

1 Computer equipment (2) ??
2 Creator of the world wide web(3 ) ???

4 Glove ( 6 ) MITTEN
5 In Love ( 7 ) SMITTEN
6 Lotions ( 9 ) OINTMENTS

IT

TIM (his first name)

[klazomaniac]

IT
MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)

[Captain2]

I would think klazo is correct, I didn't really think they would just use someone's first name (Tim Berners-Lee)

[klazomaniac]

Could be either Capt'
I assume though, That 'MIT' own the rights if it was developed at thier HQ

[Matakari]

Thanks, all, I'm going for Tim.

I didn't really understand the clue. Tim Berners Lee is the creator of the WWW and IT is computing, so that seems to work.
