First stuff I remember going online with was GOPHER and WAIS? I don't remember much about it, except accessing resources/data.

Then, IIRC, was MOSAIC, the first witth graphics.

I also remember the Netscape thing with the lighthouse.

I signed up for AOL, then dumped it quickly. It was an intranet and you had to navigate out of that and over to the web anyway.

An early version of Netscape on Prodigy as well!

This...it was on some older Macs at school IIRC. Otherwise, it'd be AOL on a Macintosh Performa 630cd.

I predate the internet too - private networks, BB's, TSN and the like were around for home use. My employer asked me to check out Mosaic - might have been 1.1 or 1.01. I took it home on a single floppy. The commercial internet was not large back then.

Netscape something using... winsock? I can't quite remember but I think winsock was how I was able to get the glorious pictures to show up.

Trumpet winsock was a free TCP/IP stack for Windows 3.x back when MS didn't have it built into the OS. I still have the disks for a package I bought back then called NetManage Chameleon which installed TCP/IP connectivity and had apps for telnet, gopher, ftp, and even a browser IIRC.

Forgot about the Trumpet winsock! I purchased Chameleon too for the browser as Trumpet had a lot of glitches. Had to learn what things like gopher and archie were.

I found this for some nostalgia. Damn.

I almost miss it.

Interestingly enough, I remember when Mozila suite (before Firefox) actually had the navigator icon as it was owned by Netscape at the time, if I recall.

What ever happen to Netscape anyway? Did they just become Mozilla, then Firefox?

Compuserve, which used IE skinned just like AOL did. Man did the old CS have great user forums.
