While doing aditional cleaning up of stuff around
the house (and managing to finally setup home WiFi
using my old Bronze and Silver Lucent PCMCIA cards),
I found 2 “historical” (for me) magazines: the first
issue of Wired (premiere issue, 1.1, 1993), with me
later becoming subscriber #352, and the Nov/Dec 1993
issue of Internet World.

There’s some hilarious stuff inside:
The ad that made me start up Esoterica (local ISP)

An article on what is the Internet (note the absence
of HTTP/Web; there wasnt any of that stuff)

An article on what is available on the Internet. Once
again note the userfriendly (not!) character based UI

An article on government information avalaible on the
Internet. Once again note the “advanced” gopher interface

Ad for the first online bookstore (no, not Amazon). Note
the absence of http:// address (there was no web yet) and
the Internet access info (telnet books.com). Ah the good
old days of interfaces for real men…

Hilarious Apple ad for the first Powerbook

Stallman was yet to be saved by Linux and the opensource
revolution
