    I was at University at the time. Suddenly, the kids who knew computers better than me were always on this almost-blank page. I asked them what it was and they said it was a search engine. I couldn't believe it - there was nothing on that page! I mean, you didn't even have to search for where to enter your search!
    And yes, despite using AltaVista and Yahoo regularly, I had been hunting for the search field - the only reason I visited these sites anyway.

    I used it once, and it worked. The complete clarity of the landing page was so brilliant, I never went back.

    How ironic, given how the "UX" of Google has been going in recent years...
