If you can’t remember having to choose between this WWW thingy and Gopher sites, you haven’t been on the internet long enough. CERN and Webcrawler.

I remember using Gopher, and I remember my first browser was Navigator.

I also remember spending all night long downloading games from BBS using a 2400 baud modem.
