I used Netscape as my browser quite extensively through college. Dogpile and Altavista as search engines. Google came to play toward the end of my time at the university.

Yea, I used AOL too, good old dial up "mom, get off the phone I want to go online and chat"

LOL!

LOL x 2!

Lycos, but as I recall back in those days before Google, you really had to use more than one to find what you wanted. Started using google in '98 and dropped all of the others.

First browser for me was Netscape 0.9 beta (1995)

Holy crap I totally forgot about Lycos

 

[engineergurl]

was netscape the one with the ships steering wheel?

 

[knight1fox3]

Yes.

I was just in the funny pic thread along with user "MSN/Bing." I'm glad that of all the pages on here, that search engine is looking at bouncing jugs and crash gifs.
