WWW: 20 years of badly designed web pages

They should not have made web access free!

Meh, I preferred the Telnet back then anyway. Nothing like grouping up with a bunch of strangers from around the world on a MUD.

I remember those days and actually had a couple of free names early on. Here's a screen shot of one of my early sites for my environmental firm at that time:

The scrolling banner says we were online since 1992, which I remember being a typo we decided never to correct, but I'm pretty sure it was actually 1993. We were told by Network Solutions that we were the 9th website in Rhode Island at that time. Not sure how they knew that.

It was Newsgroups and IRC for me

Happy birthday people

We are happy to still own a couple domain names that predate the WWW.
