I miss altavista, but not as much as I miss webcrawler. Webcrawler was THE best once upon a time imo.

I remember trying to explain to some kids in my homeroom about how "you can just search for any song you want and download it on altavista, you just need an em pee three player" and getting made fun of because only a "loser nerd would ever listen to music on their computer".

Now look at me, decades later, posting about it on kbin.
