I was at university in 1994 and was excited to have a look at the new fangled world wide webso used the browser Mosaic on Windows 3.1 to look at some webpages. Webpages were almost without exception in those days grey with black Times New Roman text of differing sizes and the occasional hyperlink else where in bright blue. Having no idea where to start, I bought issue 2 of .NET magazine, and flicked through the page upon page of recommended sites which were all grey with black text of differing sizes. One website recommendation stood out however - Private Eye magazine had made the decision to digitise some of the cartoons from each issue. So one of the first websites I ever looked at in October/ November 1994 was www.private-eye.co.uk. Because it had pictures.
