Google's Past Homepage 237

I never saw the original Google, and it looks kinda funny. LOL. How did that turn into a multi million dollar company? Seriously. That original page looks worse than what a 5th grader can program in HTML.
I remember back in the 90's when venture capatalists were giving money to any dot com and people. I wish I would have made *something* and cashed in. Looking at the original google, if that was good enough to get them funded, I could have been a millionaire.
Back then I was using webcrawler or excite (which was my hompage before they started to suck). I wonder how the hell they both failed, when they were much better in the start.

Everyone thought "google" was a dumb name for the site, now it's a figure of speech
I just wish my search results were as good as they were in the wayback machine, now people prey on google's spidering and ranking so now I have to wade through the same detritus that I began using google to avoid.

For the same reason that Mozilla used to get front page whenever a minor update was made to it. It involved offering reach-arounds, but I won't name names for fear of mod-retaliation.
