There was a huge difference between 1992 and 1994. The internet was readily available by 1995 when the author would have been 5 or 6 years old. Some people would argue that 1995 was peak-internet, not pre-internet.

It was available but barely had any penetration.

Notably this was pre- social media and smartphones which were the societal phase change most people think of as the line of demarcation.

Who would argue that? Most people were not using the Internet in 1995
Exactly. Everybody tired of it being September (since 1993!) would argue that.
