I don't even remember seeing the first Google page.. I think I started using Google in 2000, when it looked normal.

Great site!

I remember using Google when I first started secondary school in 1999. It was pretty much what everyone seemed to be using at the time.

I still remember how painfully slow our internet connections at school were though.

Ask.com for me

The I moved to High School back in 2003 (?) and they told us to use google in ict so it kinda grew on me.

But yeah, Google did look kinda cute!

I think this is the first ever Google.com Google. (lol)
