Not the "Apple Store", but apple.com

I believe it is correct. It was back when we didn't call it a new tab page, but 'homepage' and it was set to an actual website.

Of course Safari defaulted to apple.com, what else was it supposed to default to?

It is correct, back in the Panther days when Safari was new the default home page was Apple.com.

I’m not sure how long they did that for, but like you said, what else were they supposed to do? It was a different time, homepages were treated differently.

about:blank until the user sets something else.
