    Oh gosh, I remembered rejecting Google and sticking with AV for a long time.

    I was such a noob, heh. :)

    I used Altavista, Dogpile and Lycos. I have been using google more out of habit than being a great search engine.

    Yahoo and altavista primarily. Thought Google was a bit strange, and heard people talk about it all the time, but resisted for almost a year before i decided to try it out myself.

    Since then I use google almost exclusively, Gmail, google video, google maps, picasa etc etc. Anything google do, they do it right.

    Fuck Google. Seriously. Over rated, monopolistic, completely evil crap. That's why I use MSN Live :D j/k

    But in all reality, I'm done with Google and all their products, including their: search, email, and applications. I hate them with a passion and they're not going to get another penny from me in any way shape or form, neither shall I contribute to their traffic nor will I ever endorse anything they are affiliated with.
