Remember the days when the word Google was not interchangeable with internet? Or when every site seemed to have a Netscape icon on it? Or when Flash was still something you cleaned your floor with? Then you were clearly using the web in the mid to late 1990s when pages were rudimentary affairs containing lists of links and information.
Thanks to the waybackmachine internet archive, we're still able to see some of the Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 pioneers looked in their earliest incarnations.

Somehow they managed to miss FR!
apple.com in 1987? um NO!
#14 is still irrelevant...
“apple.com in 1987? um NO!”
You’re right.
It should be at least Oct 22, 1986
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.apple.com
1996!
Thank you.
Actually, it was in 1987. Apple.com was one of the first 100 domain sites ever registered and established. It was 02/19/1987

There are supposedly some images floating around of the site, one of the first ever in existence.
See post #8- Archive.org only goes back to 1996 but Apple.com was one of the first websites ever, all the way back to 87.
I remember a lot of them!
BTW, Borders Books used to have a big NAMBLA graphic!
it’s 1996, not 1986 sparky

I still can't believe this! All this hype for something so ridiculous! Who cares about an MP3 player? I want something new! I want them to think differently! Why oh why would they do this?! It's so wrong! It's so stupid!
LOL....
I remember the gray backgrounds and stuff
LOL... I remember the abacus.
Eworld.
Apple didn't waste any time recognizing the potential behind that new communications medium. Even if they didn't settle on a 'web-site' until later.
They registered the domain name way before most other companies even knew that the internet existed at all.
Oops, looks like I took the wrong time to quit crack.
Thanks.

Source? Or date, using the wayback machine?
I remember when Yahoo looked like that (even earlier, actually)... wish I’d invested.
Domain names are a bit different than web pages. HTML/W3 was still conceptual in the late 80s. Interesting though
