For yucks, I did a google groups search for the earliest news posting
I made from apple. My sig had:
UUCP: {mtxinu,sun,nsc,voder}!apple!aek
ARPA: aek(a)apple.apple.com
This was mid-1988, so that was our uucp connectivity at the time.
I also noticed that my previous posting about MacTCP and Gopher would
have been incorrect, since Gopher servers didn't appear til '91 or so.

Did TurboGopher come out that early? I thought it emerged '92-'93 era (I
remember that being the real heyday of Gopher, at least for me).

Gopher preceded HTTP by a bit... probably appeared in '88/89?

Nah... original discussions about WWW/HTTP were in the '89/90 timeframe
(I'd have to check the exact dates), and gopher existed then, and
indeed, if gopher development had changed course just a little, it
might have killed the WWW before it even got started (assuming WWW
means HTTP+HTML).
The first RFC for HTTP didn't appear until it'd been around for about 6
years...
