Ya, I remember gopher servers. The first internet search engine I used were not Yahoo!, google, or altavista. It was Archie. You could do interesting things with Archie, but it was kind of basic as I recall. I eventually found Veronica servers to be more capable in locating what I wanted to find. The net was less crowded back then, and spam wasn't quite the issue it is today, but information on the net was of higher quality IMO.
