Who did that? You could just grab an installer for netscape over FTP, IE came on every windows system by default, and if you really wanted a CD or floppy with a browser on it, your ISP would send you one. AOL CDs were sent to every mailbox in the country repeatedly and totally unsolicited and those contained browser installers. Nobody I've ever known went running to the store to buy a web browser and I know people who paid for pkzip
