I&#x27;m old enough to remember gopher, then mosaic, then netscape navigator, and a web that had only a few dozen sites.  Then there was altavista and metacrawler, and of course yahoo.  In our (physics) department of 20 people back in the 90s and 00s, no-one ever used yahoo:  its &#x27;directory&#x27; listing of websites never sat well with any of us, and we never used it:  it just felt wrong and cumbersome.  In fact the longer yahoo stayed around the more we joked about it.  I am still astonished yahoo is still around now, I always felt it was doomed to failure back in the 90s.
