Scruit Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I used Infoseek before it was bought out by go.com. Depressing to think that when I get on car forums and listening to kids telling us all how they think it is... That I've been using the internet longer than they have been alive. I got my first internet access 18 years ago at university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Back when I first met my future inlaws... I asked to use their computer. I wanted to search for something so I typed lycos.com, only I actually typed ycos.com. Scam and porn sites lik to buy up common misspellings of popular sites, yeah? At that time ycos.com was a gay porn site. Just as it popped up on the screen my soon-to-be father-in-law walked in the room."Do you... err... need some time to yourself??"Lucky I knew what went wrong and could show him. Even then I'm not sure he believed me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
