    It was probably Archie for me, but I was using Veronica as well so I might have that backward. I also recall that during the early days of the web, there was a ~1MB text file you could find (with Archie or Veronica!) and download that contained an index of all the known sites. I used that too.

    And yes, there was porn. Even then. :)
