    First search engine I used was a card file and the Dewey Decimal System.

    Ditto here. Ya know - I never did really question who or what Dewey was. I just entered it into Google. Some old coot who dreamed up a method of categorizing the books in a library. Who'da thunk it? I just learned the system, I didn't worry about buying the old guy a birthday card or anything.
