I remember that. I had almost zero interest in www until geocities came along and then …it was something else to compose and publish a “website”

The whole thing was atrocious but at least introduced me to the concept.

In fact, I had to spend like three days downloading Netscape to try it out because I didn’t even have a graphical browser yet.
