Not sure what the first page I went to was...

My very first search engine experience (lycos if memory serves) was "boobs". I remember this very vividly because I couldn't figure out how to clear history even though a friend had told me and I had taken notes.

Stupid that I was so worried since it was a full 4 years before my parents were able to navigate the computer/internet on their own. LOL

Man has the world changed since then.
