Ah, Lycos, Infoseek, AltaVista. I miss searching you all in separate Internet Explorer 4 windows on my Pentium MMX.
Here in the distant future I can just speak to my handheld supercomputer and it shows me exactly what I want.
- maukdaddy 16y agoI always thought Hotbot was the best for geeks. I do miss AltaVista though.
- muhfuhkuh 16y agoIt was hotbot or webcrawler for me. And, yes, Altavista will always be remembered, especially for babelfish.
- Ravenlock 16y agoOh man - until you said that I had entirely forgotten that there were once programs that did nothing but query the menagerie of search engines out there and show you a page of results so you could pray that one of them was what you wanted and open them all in your separate web browser of choice. Not-so-good-old-days indeed.

- sliverstorm 16y agoThey taught us about Dogpile in school. Dogpile taught me one thing: every result I liked always came from Google. Goodbye Dogpile.
