I remember using AltaVista. I haven't thought of that in years.

The first thing I can remember using the internet to research was Vlad the Impaler.

Hey, remember sitting there and waiting several minutes for porn videos to load up?

I remember sitting there waiting for pictures to load. Videos were out of the question.

I always felt still photos were more cost effective in terms of time & bandwidth.

I don't remember the "first" thing... I had Internet access pretty much constantly since 1987 (telnet, FTP, email, and not much else). So I remember using early Yahoo (before it was at yahoo.com), ebay, altavista, etc. etc. etc. I couldn't tell you exactly what the first thing was I looked for on google, but it was probably miscellaneous stuff in preparation for a "what you can find on the internet" workshop.
