@stephen eWorld was a service promoted by Apple in the 90s. I had a Mac Performa 5300, an SE30, and a Mac II. The Performa came with a built in 24k modem and eWorld. It only lasted until maybe 1996 or so.
As long as we're all waxing nostalgic about the good old days of the internet - am I the only one who remembers eWorld?

The boundless optimism that we had about the internet in 1994:
Apple's online service "eWorld" marketed with the phrase "There's intelligent life out there."

@timesnewboman Another example of the 90s “distorted proportions for cuteness” illustration style is #Apple #eWorld. It was Apple’s attempt to compete with #CompuServe and #AOL .
