Through the years, I’ve collected numerous nifty T-shirts from commerce reveals I’ve lined — primarily the late, lamented Macworld Expos held in Boston, San Francisco, New York, Tokyo, and Paris. Over the following few weeks I’ll be “modeling” a few of the gadgets in my assortment.
At the moment’s T-shirt is from the launch of Apple’s eWorld, a web based service that Apple operated between June 1994 and March 1996. The providers included e mail, information, and a bulletin board system (old-timers will keep in mind these).
eWorld is from the distant previous. So distant that you simply needed to set up it from a set of two floppy disks.
Apple previewed eWorld on the 1994 Macworld Convention & Expo, the place they invited attendees to change into beta testers for the service. On June 20, 1994, the service went into full operation.
eWorld was primarily based round a “city corridor” metaphor the place every of the service’s branches was a person “constructing”. Over 400 media and expertise firms created data merchandise on the service. A number of Mac software program and {hardware} firms opened up digital boards on the service to supply buyer assist and basic product data to subscribers. The principle eWorld portal additionally encompassed all kinds of stories and data providers.
eWorld was fairly cool, had good graphics, and obtained fairly good critiques. Nonetheless, it was Mac solely and by no means actually caught on. A Home windows model was promised, but it surely by no means arrived.
