Indeed I remember when the Internet was all textArchie and Gopher anybody? Then word reached us at the office that there was something miraculous out there. It just needed me (as the Unix bod) to install something called Mosaic on a nearby SPARCstation. And lo, we could behold the graphical marvel that was cisco.com. Followed shortly after by the less salubrious sites that mushroomed in those untamed and uncensored days of http version 1.0. (It's my SPARCstation, get your hands off and go wait for somebody to invent Netscape).

I remember when the cisco's website came on a CD-ROMFor a long time Cisco's Connection Online (CCO) was purely telnet and ASCII. If you wanted a file you'd use xKermit.
