I don’t. Altavista was OK, I liked Northern Lights a lot, but I hated having to use Lycos, Dogpile, Ask Jeeves, hot something, etc. just to get the basic answers to things and even then whatever geocities webring I stumbled upon (I do miss that service) was probably wrong. Wikipedia either didn’t exist or was really terrible back then too.
Forums were cool, IRC, usenet, but modern search engines, Web 2.0, and bit torrent made life soooo much easier. I never want to have to use a download manager for ftp/http downloads again. RSS was cool but a little later. Reddit style nested threads are also a game changer.
I miss pre-google internet. I wish I had todays hardware and connection to what I used to access via dialup.
