Southern_Man 0 #4 April 30, 2013 I did not know that. My first access to anything w/ a browser would have been later in 1993 or spring of 1994. Prior to that I had used the gopher system. Also was familiar w/ various bulletin board services but not a heavy user of those."What if there were no hypothetical questions?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,589 #5 April 30, 2013 Likewise, and probably down to the rough date of first use. I remember my first impression of "the web" (using Mosaic) was that I wasn't impressed; I figured I stay with my newsgroups. How times have changed... And I suppose they'll keep doing so.
