Same for me.
Me too. Recently added the iGoogle thing for my home PC. Good to see the weather forcast and news snippets when I first fire up the interpipe-browsings.

Actually, Google too. The term 'googling' has become part of our vocabulary - I don't think the founders of Google expected it to become quite so big.
Ha ha, I do like Gizoogle to 'gangsterize' pages

That site appears to have been hijacked.
It is now some sort of porn search engine would you believe.

Absolutely disgraceful.
Took me three hours to get off that site.

Mainly because I was having some problems typing.
No longer seem to be able to make my hands hit the correct keys.

Sure, you definately wanted to get off that page...

@Teho...

Altavista USED to be good. Now....it's average at best I find.

I always use Google - always have, always will. Nothing else comes close.

I can't remember what I used before Google. I switched when I saw a guy at my work placement was using it - in around 2000 (I only first went on the internet properly when I started uni in 99).

Probably Yahoo or Ask Jeeves

Nuts! It's broken. This makes me very sad

I hope it isn't permanently busted. ALthough I haven't used it for a long time...
