    The internet for the common man didn’t even exist in 1987.

    True, although the internet is slightly older than most (or at least many) realize: 1989 saw the first internet company with access to the public. One of the services offered was access to Usenet. And before that, BBSes has started to offer Usenet access.

    Of course, the internet didn’t really explode until around 1996, I’d say. But it was growing before that.

    Not invalidating your point. I think this stuff is interesting. :)
