 | Re: Happy Birthday Google!I used to search on with yahoo, astla vista (is that right? lol!) and infoseek before google. I also had a chance to buy some google shares in 98 for cheap but couldn't as I was still in college and underage. I would have been a millionaire by now if I told my dad to buy it for me then. Oh well.... |

Unfortunately whilst i was feeling lucky, i wasn't actually being lucky and went straight to a rather graphic gay dating site. I had a wee panic as i had been on my dad's computer and i next spent a fair bit of time learning how to delete the history. So in a world without Google that whole embarrassing/panicky incident would never have happened!! | |
