Im new to this site and was wondering if someone could give me some advice.Im not sure if there were browsers back in the Arpanet days but if there were how would i go about viewing them.Also is there a list of early web pages that can be viewed.Ive tried entering web addresses i know but the earliest i can go back is 1996 which i presume is the earliest those web pages existed.

There really weren't any web browsers way, way back. The first I know of was NCSA/CERN and Mosaic. There were some competing browsers early on. Predating the web by a few years was UMich's gopher service, a text-based information service browser. Brewster's and Thinking Machines' WAIS was another front-end for data services that was a bit like the web.

Besides that, it was mostly usenet, ftp and mailing lists before the web.

Really, I can't let this go unchecked...

/-\s a native Minnesotan, I must point out that the University of *Minnesota* invented Gopher, *not* any Michigan University.

You can read a brief history of Gopher here:
