There was no microsoft.com, ibm.com or apple.com at that time.

I know yahoo.com and Scott Pakin's complaint generator have been around for ten years - any others? I don't think there could be all that many.

In '94, AOL / Prodigy / CompuServe were mostly proprietary services that had limited access to most true internet services (www/irc/etc).

Usenet was one of the few things you could connect to from AOL, and I think Usenet die-hards are STILL bitching about it. :)

Most websites starting popping up in '95. Motorola's website was one of the first I remember going to.

A lot of people owned domains back then but had no website. They were using email/FTP only.

I remember a lot of sites from back then. I imagine at the least most major universities had websites back then (I know mine did).
