Heh.  I am one of those old people and I started using Netscape .9
for linux.  I even used Mosaic a few times!

 

I used Mosaic quite a lot in the very early days.  Of course it was
being used on an X terminal (yes, real X terminal) connected to a Sun
Sparc Station 20 in another building at work. 

Maybe 1993.  Some people wanted to develop a website for the company I
worked for, and I was asked to evaluate their presentation.  They
brought their apple computer into the conference room and ran a demo.
Lovely.  I asked for a separate phone line and installed Mosaic so I
could test it out in real time on real equipment.  Abysmal failure.
Took forever to load and the graphics were sadly lacking on ordinary
monitors.  Life used to be SOOOO much easier!

Good old dialup! Got to compress, etc.
