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.

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.
