That's not the original AltaVista page - as mentioned by the disclaimer in the screengrab, altavista.com was not related to DEC or the AltaVista search engine.
At least when it first opened, it was altavista.digital.com. And that confused people; I'd tell them to go search AltaVista for something and they'd come back confused because they wound up on some e-card site instead.
After Compaq bought DEC and retired the Digital brand, they finally took over altavista.com.
- Tangaroa 15y agoIt looks like altavista.digital.com and babelfish have "been excluded from the Wayback Machine" so we can't see what they looked like back then unless anyone has kept a screenshot for 15 years or has a book or newspaper with a screenshot in it.
