TOD
I have no memory of what I tried or looked at first. I just know it was a battle, grappling with the earliest incarnations of Windows and the slower than slow modem speeds for the dialup services. Probably, any site that would actually load on my computer without crashing was a winner in my book.
When the actual World Wide Web was "opened" to the public in 1993 or 1994, I had already been going online by other means since 1986, via BBSes, QuantumLink (which would become AOL, but it was first an exclusive service for Commodore computers), Prodigy, and Delphi. The latter was the first to open the actual Internet (text only!) to its subscribers, before the Web (with pictures!) came about. If any of my earliest lists of bookmarks have survived, they'd go a long way toward answering the question.
