I remember -- I think it was 1992 -- being one of the first "normal" people on the internet. Got in through a service called Delphi.
It had a menu option to use www. The screen came up with white text on a black background. Some words were in reverse -- black text on a white background.
I remember thinking "Weird. What would anybody ever use this stuff for?"
After all, it wasn't like it was as useful as ftp, telnet, gopher, etc. It was just a bunch of text in a weird format. (Remember there was no mouse then. I imagine you had to tab to get on the links? Never found out, because I couldn't figure out what to do with it.)
