I remember having ‘a go on the Internet’ round my friends house in the early nineties. He said go on type anything you want to know about.

So I searched for ‘Amiga games’. It came back with a screen full of junk.

I looked at my friend and said ‘none of this has anything to do with Amiga games’.

He said no you need to ‘+computer’ ‘-Spanish’.

I said to him, ‘who’s crappy idea was this?’

Needless to say we all got better at booolean searches and Altavista was light years ahead of yahoo.

Google was a welcome change, made the internet a cool place for about 10 years.
