    Once in awhile I'll use AltaVista, but mostly to access their Babel Fish translator. Other than that, is mostly Google for me or sometimes Yahoo!

    I've used it before but I am not a big fan of it. I'd rather stick to the big 3 and dogpile, sometimes alltheweb

    I use Altavista strictly for their Babelfish service.

    I remember AV from ages ago, used to use it a lot back in the day.

    When I first got on the Net I used it, and loved it. Then a friend pointed me to MetaCrawler and I LOVED that...though, I stopped using it because it seemingly sold out to payed placement (speculation). I went back to AltaVista after that till I lost my net connection for nearly a year. When I got back on the net, I've used nothing but Google.

    I do use BabelFish though...
