"Card catalog" /thread. Even when infoseek came around I still found it more useful to pop down to the library and look stuff up in the encyclopedias and then turn to the card catalog if I wanted to find more detailed information. If you were lucky you could find a relevant webring and cycle through a dozen sites before finding what you were sorta looking for. Oh, those were the days.
