Nonsense, I could goof off quite easily with nntp :)
What, you didn't use mosaic? I used mosaic, on VMS no less.
I did too, on SunOS. I remember the early days when renavigating to a page would just pull up the cache version and not refresh automatically -- I didn't understand why wsj.com wasn't publishing new content daily.
And I still miss the spinning globe.
(I too am old enough to remember the internet before the web. You really had to work hard to goof off at work when all you had was nntp, archie and gopher.)
