I'm trying to remember what was on Apple's website in 1993-1994.

Maybe downloads for Quicktime browser support.


According to the Wayback Machine, AAPL did not even have a website until late 1996.

https://web.archive.org/web/19961001000000*/apple.com

Which makes sense. I believe the first time I used a browser based method for getting on the internet was perhaps 1995.

I remember going on temporary duty to Osan Air Base in the Summer of 1994, and there was no such thing as a web browser on my Windows laptop, even though Mosaic did exist at the time. I had a Unix account with the communications squadron there, and I would use telnet to connect with the server. This was how I got email back to my unit in California.
I think you're misinterpreting things. The reason why there's no archive before 1996 is because Archive.org didn't start until 1996, not that the websites didn't exist before then.

One site that I was surprised to NOT see high on the list was AltaVista, that was the very first search engine that I used. In that video it makes just a brief appearance in Jan and Feb 1998 even though it was around since late 1995.
