I remember the first time someone fired up Mosaic on a Sun workstation at work. At first the only pages were alma mater pages because no one had an IT department that knew how to set up a webserver yet. It didn't really dawn on me until people started putting up lyric pages for bands, and the speed at which you could access the data via links. I had been using FTP (and archie and gopher) up to that point, which involved a lot of typing and taking notes, and hyperlinks/bookmarks were light-years easier. That was the lightbulb for me.
