Although being too young to be really have seen gopher, i can still remember the (comparatively) simple "Internet" from mid to late 90s.
IRC for chatting, ICQ for instant messaging (which didn't work because my ISP at that time used a strange firewall / proxy setup and IRQ wasn't able to get through), newsgroups as a kind of discussion board, picture viewers for all kind of image formats (like wise video players), real player (Buffering...:D) for streaming....and most importantly web browser(s) when you want to grab information from all around the world (but dang having only a 33.6kbit modem, was really a test of patience sometimes).
Oh! I forgot! WinAmp which can whip the llama's...yeah you surely know what it does whip! ;)
