Caboose

Back in the early days of the World Wide Web (about 1994) I had just started using it at University. This was before the big search engines had appeared (imagine life without Google or AltaVista) so the main way of finding your way around was through links pages.

My favourite site for finding resources on the web was Global Navigator, set up by O’Reilly publishing. I just discovered that somebody has resurrected it after it was bought and then abandoned by AOL. Have a look at the New Global Network Navigator Home Page if you miss the early days of the web: using Mosaic, no animated GIFs, very little content, no annoying JavaScript bugs…
