First image on the World Wide Web perhaps, I didn't get onto that until a few years later. I downloaded images from the internet by late 91. It was not a point and click process, I remember at one point joining usenet binaries manually, piping stuff around in a shell before downloading the file to my mac and turning it into a binary file with BinHex. People tend nowadays to think the internet and the web are the same, forgetting things like newsgroups, IRC, ftp servers with archie, telnet bbs's, MUDs and MUSHes, etc. First image on the INTERNET?

As with most of these examples, first means you don't necessarily know what you're doing or what it will amount to in the future. Plus nobody really cares about the early internet, just where we are now. Oh and what was the first NEATORAMA story? Being first isn’t necessarily a good thing.
