Compuserve Thingummy erm Navigator or whatever it was did have an interface a bit like that at one stage I think. But it depends what you mean by 'old versions'. When I joined, Compuserve sent me a manual full of text commands you could type into a terminal. It was a BBS basically, but it was exciting because it supported more than one brand of computer and you could use it from a large number of locations. Come to think of it that's better than today's typical UK broadband connections, which are usually strapped to a particular location, and commonly sold by so-called "ISPs" who decline to support mac, linux and computers more than 4 years old, never mind anything more exotic.
