You're right. The explosion of the multi-plaform web happened in 1993 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libwww

I was using the web in college in 1993. After my very first experience with a browser, i thought gopher was superior. Of course, a 1200 baud connection makes graphics a bit less impressive and more of a pita.

Lucky you, that had access to a graphical browser!

My first experience was sending an email with the url I wanted to access to a server that would send back the hypertext document a few minutes later.
