We did have web browsers, I had Internet Explorer on Windows 3.1, 33mhz 8mb RAM.

  Probably was "Windows 3.11, For Workgroups" as iirc Windows 3.1 didn't ship with a TCP/IP stack

    There was a sockets API though (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winsock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winsock) and IIRC we all used Trumpet Winsock on Windows 3.1 with our dialup connections. But could have been 3.11 - my memory is a bit hazy.

      3.11 was so much nicer than 3.1 (and 3.0) I can’t imagine not moving to it as soon as possible.

        I was like 11 at the time buying computer stuff with lawn care earnings so I used whatever I could get my hands on. :)

        Windows for Workgroups 3.11 did not contain Cardfile. :-(

          Didn’t it have a proper address book? I remember I could send faxes through Mail.

            > Didn’t it have a proper address book? Schedule+, which was contained in Windows for Workgroups 3.11, contained address book functionalities that were clearly better than Cardfile. But people used Cardfile for many other different purposes than serving as an address book.

  I still remember the Mosaic from NCSA. Internet in a box.
