In fact, I'm fairly certain of it. I remember getting into Google at the end of '98 and being astonished at how much better than Excite (my search engine of choice back then) it was. And I remember when Google partnered with Dmoz and I think that's when Google won me over, because Yahoo! just seemed so parochial and insular to me and I had *such* issues about it for that reason, and Google's free and easy search prioritization and Dmoz's community-based spirit (before the age of Wiki) made me feel warm fuzzies about Google. Also, I remember when I had Win98 and how badly Netscape reacted to that, which is why I think it kinda went downhill; I had to resort to using IE in my Win98 days because Netscape, which I still preferred, always seemed to crash in the Win98 environment. It wasn't until my first days with XP when I learned about this fabulous thing called Firefox that I was successfully able to escape IEdom. Dear Lord, I feel like I'm that grandfather who yammers on and on about his hardscrabble childhood. Pls to fetch me slippers and a cane kthx.

I also remember when Google started to be popular and my friends telling me "You have to check out the new way to search through Google. The results are so much better than Lycos."
