Mosaic has been mentioned, but there was also mMosaic. Sun had a great GUI browser for Linux
in which all windows existed inside the main browser panel. It even came with its own
webserver. It resembled early Opera alarmingly. Gopher was great, but never WAIS time on just
one technology available for the Archie-tecture. Probably the most creative GUI brwsers to be
found operated via LambdaMOO - the Emacs of the gaming world at the time.
