This Is How Apple Explained How To Use A Web Browser To Its Employees Back In 1996
Way back in 1996, when Safari wasn’t even a glimmer in Apple’s eye, Apple sent out this email to document explaining how to use the Netscape browser.
It’s pretty interesting reading a document in which what I would consider to be core modern computer concepts like hyperlinks and back and forth arrows are explained to a technical-minded audience for the first time.
It just goes to show that everyone’s been a noob one time or another.
Do you remember the first time you used a browser? My first browser was Lynx on a dial-in Unix ISP. Which browser was your first, and what platform was it on?
