There are 4 different people that I know of that can make this claim: I put up a website in March of 1993 Eric Fair Martin Haeberli Carl de Cordova Mike Erwin Mike was Root on the Spark 10 in the DRC and he actually installed the httpd on the Sun and I wrote the HTML for drc.support.apple.com a couple of days (a week?) after I got an email from Tim Brenders-Lee of CERN in the first weeks of March 1993. I got that mail because I was on a mailing list run by Tim that I joined after meeting him at the Super Conducting Super Collider Labratory Libary in Desoto Texas in 1991. Martin was Chief Scientist for the Internet for the Advanced Technology Group in Cupertino and wrote MacTCP. He thinks he may have had a site up around this time. Eric Fair registered 90.x.x.x and was root on apple.com at this time and he may have a claim also. He worked for IS&T, Apples IT department during this period. Antonio Ordenez was in the Technical Communications Group and may have put up a site in April or May 1993. The first machine to answer to www.Apple.com was run by Mary Wisnewski in the Apple Library and didnt come online until spring 1994. drc.support.apple.com went on to become support.apple.com and launched in early 1994 with Charlie McCabe and Preston Gregg in charge. Today it is Apples biggest web site and contains the Tech Info Library which is now known as the Apple Knowledge Base. The machines that ran support.apple.com were in Austin Tx until early 2002 or so at the Apple Assistance Center in the Anderson Building on highway 183 in Austin, Texas. I moved to Cupertino in 1995 and wrote the standards, policies and proceedures document that became a major web site refresh in the winter/spring of 1996. That document dictated the look and feel of all Apple websites until 1998 when Apple.com moved off of Macintoshes running WebStar and onto Suns that the new NeXT people put into the Valley Green building in Cupertino. As far as I know, all Apple Websites today are run by IS&T out of Cupertino. A couple of people have asked me to clarify the claim in this article about the “first web site at Apple”.
