"Our software submits your pages to Altavista, Excite, InfoSeek, Lycos, WebCrawler, OpenText, and HotBot." Nice. Those were the days. Does anyone else remember when google was underground? I remember when it seemed just me and a few of my friends knew about them. For 2 years I would say "don't use altavista- use google." and whoever it was would say "Googol? Ogle? What?" Guess it wasn't that long ago at that...

Google wasn't just underground then; it didn't exist. Google wasn't founded till a year later.

I remember back when you had to manually submit your website to 30 different search engines. It's amazing how fast times change.
