Google Turns 9

A special thanks to friend Patti , who, quite a few years ago, alerted me to Google. Patti and I had worked at DEC when AltaVista was the first great search engine. AltaVista was built pretty much a bunch of spaghetti code that showcased the power of DEC's hardware. Had DEC understood what it had in AltaVista, we'd probably still be working there and there would still be a there there.

We shouldn't be sad, though. Google turns 9 today. The rest is searchable history.
