The web was NEVER all text based. The internet was before html was invented, but the WWW had graphics from the git go. Of course it was a bit slow over a 300 baud modem, and most html authors stuck mostly to text in order to keep page loads under a minute or so. We had to wait for V.90 before anyone could conveniently surf for porn.
