@mdhughes@appdot.netWatching retrocomputing videos about pre-WWW Internet is so weird when they weren't there at the time, trying to recreate it.
"The Internet was text only!"
No, it wasn't. NCSA programs for Macintosh & Unix were graphical, Fetch had the adorable running dog. (I can't get Infinitemac.org online, or I'd show you there, so here's a weird Bulgarian screenshot)
On dialup with PPP, I did prefer text on Unix for speed, but if I came into the labs I used X11 or Macintosh.
