- hollerith 7y agoNo, we had HTTP in '91, but the web was small and consisted almost entirely of information about physics and computing. And we didn't yet have a graphical web browser that ran on Windows or Mac. And MSDOS was AFAIK never adapted to allow the computer to interact with the user while something was downloading or uploading. (I.e., it lacked the necessary kind of multitasking.)
