I used Lycos for a few years, then switched to WebCrawler, then MetaCrawler and finally Google in rapid succession. In the early days a search engine could rock one day and blow the next...everybody was tweaking algorithms, making it up as they went along. It could be fun and it could be frustrating.

I hate Google like a toothache, but it does work well. I know they spy on me. So does the regime, I'm sure. Nothing to be done for it.

The old ('90s) 'net was a blast. Surfing could be like exploring new worlds sometimes, and some of them were hostile. (I had a Norton Ghost image updated daily for those times that the Klingons won.) What we have today is pastuerized, homogenized, STILL not safe and generally not fun.
