That's not true. I mean, I was gophering and FTP'ing and pirating all kinds of good stuff on a 2400 baud modem in 1992. By contrast, the guys I worked for in 1998 could barely use a computer. But boy could they sling bullshit to other people who couldn't use computers.

Hence the quotes around "no one." As you suggest, obviously some people had access to the pre-Web Internet--I communicated over the Internet as early as about 1978--but it was a small slice of the population.
