In 1993, iirc, I borrowed a Mac and 2400bps modem from my high school that I used to call the library and AOL.

Before that, the way to get software (for me, because I wasn't a college student) was to go to a local computer store and copy their disks containing free or shareware.

But everything changed about 1995.
