> On an unrelated note, it's rather depressing to think of the original StarCraft game as being something 'old people' remember. I'm 29.

Do you remember a time before Google? Google was started the same year as Starcraft was released - 1998.

(Weirdly Armageddon and Deep Impact were released in 1998)

I remember Lycos, Altavista, Excite, Infoseek and Yahoo as being the search engines I used throughout middle school. I don't think I began using Google until 99 or so.

However, I also remember using BBS systems. TradeWars 2002, anyone?

Didn't play TradeWars 2002 but spent a fair amount of time with Legend of the Red Dragon.

Metacrawler was awesome at this time.

I think Lycos is the earliest search engine I remember using

Altavista.digital.com, not to be confused with the poor sod who had altivista.com.

But then, for some reason, I thought it was a Toy Story joke.
