Yes. There were Gophers galore and BBS.

There really weren’t any graphical web sites until Mosaic which was late 93. Netscape was in 1994.

See reference here below for a reference to an apple.com website in 1994. Which would make sense then.

Apple got started in 1987 according to this site:

As a side note:
“In April 1985 cmu.edu, purdue.edu, rice.edu and ucla.edu were the first registered domain names.”

This guy has screen shots for apple some years back

Here is a flashback for you, remember Apple’s Knowledge Navigator? (also circa 1987)

Even more trivia, the first dotcom domain, symbolics.com, just got sold. It was registered on 15 March, 1985.
