I also recall the '90s. In the early part of the decade, we were still running
DOS on a Novell network. As for the Internet, back then, it was a case of
"you can't get there from here", because our network was IPX and not
IP. It was possible to use email to outside networks by using a gateway, where
you had to use a complex email address, to denote a gateway and then a user
behind the gateway. Back then, I was using Wordstar 2000, and occasionally Word
Perfect, at work and PC-Write at home. In the late '90s, I was at IBM, and
recall the shift to IP for Lotus Notes, Notes replacing PROFS, the move from SNA
to IP and suddenly using browsers for a lot of stuff. We still used token ring
though, but even that was beginning to be replaced by Ethernet.
BTW, I still recall the IP address for my computer at IBM. ;-)

The current iteration is called SharePoint. I suspect that's a play on Sharing
Power Point presentations. We have a server on our network, but I don't have,
nor want, access to it.
