Not everyone's first browser, that thing's older than me :)

Must've been awesome to be there when computers started taking off :)

I was born in 1992, so not mine either.

It was mine, but on a UK Joint Forces LAN/WAN system called JOCS - love-hate relationship but got my first glimpse of the CIA Worldbook on it. :D

This was in 2000-01.

It wasn't my first either but I had to use it in a computer class. I can't say that I miss it either.

Brings back memories :yep:

I remember I used it to navigate to David Letterman's site to see what his latest Top Ten List was.

That was my first browser, back in 1994. Before the internet was opened up to the unwashed masses.

I've actually only recently thrown out some site magazines - before the search engines you could buy them and they listed interesting sites to visit. Yes, you read that correctly: you typed in the address.

You were ahead of me, they didn't give me access until 1995 :D
