Tonight I logged in to an old shell account I used in 1995-1996, and which is still used to host a web site belonging to somebody I know, looking for a piece of missing information which might have been there.

I did not find what I was looking for, but I found an old lynx_bookmarks.html file I last accessed in March 1996:

-rw-------   1 xxxxx    other       5915 Mar 10  1996 lynx_bookmarks.html

Hmmm nothing really special, as my real bookmarks were on my super- powerful 486 laptop (and have obviously been lost or deleted as I regularly manage to do). I started surfing the net in 1992 or 1993, and I remember using gopher at the time. It was only later that I managed to install Mosaic (on Linux ofc) on a University computer, then the first release of Netscape, downloaded from Mosaic Communications at http://www.mcom.com/.
