>>I can't really imagine what the internet would have been like back in 1989. I imagine email would be exactly the same, and I am sure HTTP existing back in 89 but no world wide web of course.
I first got involved in computing in 1965. We had an email system then that I could use to address thousands of locations around the world. Multiple addressing was integral and due to pretty strict formatting many operational messages could be auto processed.
When Email as we know know it came into existance my emails from the other system were switched in automatically.
I recall many moons ago being at a Computer show and DR Solomons of Anti virus fame was doing a presentation. He said "Hands up who has a hard drive in their PC" . " OK all those without a H/D about turn and buy one from the stand next door!" Those were the days of just twin floppy drives.
Our first WANG Word processor used 10"? floppy disks ( they were really floppy) and had IIRC 1K of data. No WYSIWYG either.
Things are just getting faster in life, except, for many folks commuting by car:-)
