"first" computer on the internet

It was thus said that the Great Dan Gahlinger once stated: Mosaic was released in 1993 [1] and I certainly remember it blowing me away when I first saw it. I even remember downloading and compiling it under IRIX as I was tired of logging into the Sun machines upstairs and running it remotely [2]. I do know that I set up my first home page in mid-to-late 1994 [3] and for that, I had to download the NCSA web server and compile that. Also around that time the first ISPs in south Florida (if not in all of Florida) open their doors to the public and at the time I remember thinking "It's about time!" AOL had given its subscribers access to USENET since 1993. Arguably, the first mass-public mention of the Internet happened in 1988. I remember my Mom mentioning an article she read about some nation-wide network going down. Depends upon the service. AOL with USENET and email in 1993. Compuserve probably a bit before that. Heck, still remember the Trumpet IP stack for Windows. -spc (First used the Internet in 1989 ... ) [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_%28web_browser%29 [2] College.
