> I remember the first time I saw Mosaic...

Likewise. I remember vividly seeing Mosaic for the first time, running on a SPARCstation workstation at university, circa 93. I had been using gopher and lynx for a few months (and BBSes for years before that), but seeing a browser loading a page - with graphics and colors! - was a pivotal experience for me.

(I know, "graphics" is an overstatement, given it meant gimmicky static images at the time, at best. I don't think even tables were available yet)
