Now I've heard everything :)
I understood it was NeXTStep
(http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/WorldWideWeb.html would seem
to back
that up). So that would be running on some kind of NeXT box
Yes, as Milo points out, an M68K model, for which afaik no emulator
exists. The original hardware can still be bought on ebay, or from
http://www.blackholeinc.com/ (if they are still responsive).
However you should be able to run NEXTSTEP/Intel (which means a late
version like 3.3) on emulated hardware (QEMU, Bochs, etc), which
coincidentally is what I've been trying to do this week.
Several versions of TBL's browser (M68K and Intel binaries for
NEXTSTEP 3.3) can be found at http://browsers.evolt.org/?worldwideweb/

has a lot of things
