LGR - How To Find ANYTHING On The Internet 

This is interesting just for the video footage of early internet pages alone. What a neat little time capsule.

Teri Parker Brown is still doing VO work for corporate stuff! She found her niche and made it work for 20 years! Very cool.

There's a certain irony that people are asking what Teri is doing now under a video titled How To Find ANYTHING On The Internet. Did Teri teach you people nothing? Did she die in vain? (She's living in Minnesota and does voiceover work).

I don't know which is more surprising; the fact that Clint didn't know about the alt+arrowkey command for going back and forth in the browser history, or that a company actually made this product and NO ONE involved, not the writer, proofreader, voice actress, director, programmers or apparently any sort of QA person, realized that they mixed up their left from their right.

That interface. I feel like Terry might start giving clues to find Carmen Sandiego.

It's February 3, 2000?! There's still time to warn them! *Shrek* *is* *about* *to* *come* *out!*

I met my wife in Yahoo groups. We will be married 18 years in January.

7:51 "WWF unveils new Pro Football League" A CD teaching you the internet having a video with a headline about the XFL is seriously the most 2000-2001 thing I've ever seen in my life. Lol

I was just as surprised about the alt+ left right thing. I've been using a pc since the 80's....

Clint sounds like a kid in the 90's who just discovered porn on the web.

The mention of privacy concerns was really interesting and forward thinking for a video series made in early 2000. Wasn't expecting that.

I didn't even mind pages taking forever to load on Netscape as a kid, because I always liked watching the little loading GIF play in the top right.

Back in the late 90's, I used to have my own little notebook full of websites. Every day on the net was an adventure and I would spend hours exploring new websites and keeping a record in my notebook. Also, chatting in the early hours of the morning with people from different parts of the world. So many fond memories of Netscape, Geocities, Ask Jeeves/Dogpile and AOL internet provider.

2000: How to find anything on the Internet 2019: How to find anything in real life

Bonzi Buddy was bad, but it had nothing on *WeatherBug...* 🐞

God, I miss the Web 1.0 days. Seems like the internet back then was just so much more..hopeful and fun. Everyone was on a level playing field with their own person websites, etc. Nowadays, 90% of the people just browse the same big 5 websites now.

Haha this is brilliant. Reminds me of the old Internet Directory books back in the 90s. Talking with my friend being all like, "Where should we go!?!? Dude, let's go to Coca Cola's website! Awesome! Ok, what next!?" *awkward silence. then disconnected. proceeds to dial-up to local BBS to play LORD.* - This was way more interactive though. Lots of cool nostalgia in those sites. Ok, time for some searching on my favorite "portal".

You may be interested that all those headlines about a "jet crash" are alluding to Alaska Airlines Flight 261; in this flight the jet entered a dive, and in an attempt to correct it the pilots inverted the aircraft, a scenario that the film "Flight" took inspiration from. Unfortunately, though, the real-life accident saw the deaths of all those aboard, versus the 6 that died in the film.

February 3rd, 2000! The height of the bubble! Look at Yahoo's stock at 8:13 - $360! It split 2-1 on Valentine's Day and finished the year with about $30.

7:35 “My God, we’re in an endless loop of garbage!” Yup. Yup. Yes we are.

Wow. Did I see something about Windows 2000? I'm only on Windows 10... That's like one thousand nine hundred and ninety more than me!

"This is pretty much just watching videos." As we watch a video on the internet about you watching videos about the internet.

Yea, when I was little I thought the internet was a CD.

I ACTUALLY LEARNED SOMETHING from this! Alt + left or right arrow keys to back or forward on web browsers. Awesome!

All the footage from the internet was captured on my birthday! February 3, 2000. It's pretty cool (and trippy) seeing AOL headlines from the day you were born. Lol only on LGR.

But can it find why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

I like that she mixed up left and right when talking about keyboard shortcuts.

LGR, I watch any of your videos when I feel really terrible. Even when it seems like all the joy has gone from the world, your kind attitude makes me feel a little better.

Hooooly crap, alt - left and alt - right still work on Firefox. I never even knew about those.

It's sort of like a time capsule seeing all those websites and how they looked in 2000. I also didn't know about Alt+Arrow Key combination as well! Also, I caught my eye on the news of the Alaska Airlines plane crash (which crashed on my 3rd birthday, January 31, 2000). It was apparently some improper maintenance that caused the plane to crash.

Didn't realize quick start icons went back that far. Damn, it's weird watching Win98 and the early internet in live form again. Great vid as always, LGR!

I just started watching your channel a week ago and I've already watched dozens of videos. Quickly turning into one of my favourites, glad there are so many videos to catch up on.

Alt Right takes us backwards? CONSPIRACY CONFIRMED!

altavista ftw -- best autocomplete prank in the myspace era was to get to someone's computer and get meatspin in their history so that when they unknowingly hit 'm' and return there was a nice surprise.

"Callwave" sounds like some kind of super-niche music genre that mashes up old answering machine messages and automated systems with lo-fi electro.

My parents own a thrift store, and I think we had this *exact* CD come through. and you are right it came in a big box with a few books one of which was like bigger than a Bible. I remember reading through it a little bit and it being full of hilarious stuff.

"Endless loop of garbage" So funny and so right

We had discs like this too here in Germany and the content of the video was literally my late 90s childhood of exploring Netscape for the first time.

Whaa-a-at?!! Netlingo.com is still an active site!

This is something pretty interesting because of the nature in which it was preserved. Archived websites are interesting enough as it is, but there is something about seeing all of these old sites preserved in video that makes it much more interesting. You're not just looking at a time capsule, you're looking at the web frozen in time. These are videos that were recorded when these sites were new, and though the originals now only exist in archives, this feels like looking at the originals thru a portal in time, actually being able to see through the exact eyes of someone who was there more than 18 years ago. Thanks for the video, Clint, this was a real interesting find :)

The nostalgia is strong with this one! Seeing those old school AOL &yahoo web pages again was just awesome. I can remember many a time being at my grandparents’ house playing yahoo pool for hours! Thanks for another awesome video!

Where is the ANY Key?

Does anyone remember the day when you could actually find something that you wanted on the internet. Now days it's a endless cycle of paid sites.

Another great video. Can't wait for you to hit 1 mil. It's gonna be lit

The Alaska Airlines story was from January 31, 2000, 3 days before this was recorded.

Teri was foreshadowing online company data breaches back in the year 2000. We didn’t listen!

Due to the fact that the Alaska Airlines Flight 261 crash kept coming up on this thing, I paused your video to go find out what happened back then. So tragic. Anyway, thanks for the Blast From the Past here LGR. Great video!

11:55 'member Flash, Shockwave and RealPlayer? I 'member. Kind of sad that none of them survived...

Woah netlingo.com still exists and it seems to be still updated regularly

I love these videos where you can answer back to a video, it feels like you're channelling Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

One of my favorite videos you've done.... so many flashbacks!

This brings back so many memories :) Love this stuff, hope it's preserved forever :)

LGR has NSA grade tools!

This totally takes me back, love this guys channel Who remembers ....? "get off the internet I want to use the phone" 😆 Napster/ Imesh where it took 1 hour to download an album and You had to virus scan your pc after to rid of it all manner of Trojans ICQ AND MSN messenger, sitting offline till someone you actually wanted to talk to appeared And a 30 second load time on pages with flash content

"How to find ANYTHING on the internet" immediately makes me think of the dark web / Silk Road lol.

We had one of these at the school were i worked at the time. It was a little different because de cdrom was filled with 'websites'. If you opened one you could click on hyperlinks and the cdrom would load that page as if you were browsing. This was all in a time when internet was by telephone lines and rather expensive and inconvenient. Well, it gave students an idea of what is was like to surf the internet. This video brought back some nice memories! Thank you for that Clint!

lol the DOW Jones was in the 11,000's back then...

I actually lol'd so much at this! Love your content LGR, such good geekery humour. Also ya - Alta vista was the absolutely shiz niz, especially when you used logical operators. Another good one was chacha where you entered in a question of what you wanted to find and you were connected to a personal search assistant. Made my course work so much easier :)

AOL forever.

This brought back so many memories for me. I was a junior in high school in 2000, so this is stuff I saw daily back then. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

"I used to put these on my own website and they went nowhere but I just liked having them on there because I thought that they were cool" ARE YOU ME?!?!?!

AWWW YEAH! I needed that sweet sweet dose of LGR videos :D

Another great episode. I knew we were in for a treat when you found it in that thrifts episode.

Nice throwback. I was already telnetting into bbs' since the early 90s and remember when the GUI net started to take off. Thanks for the ride LGR :)

i remember this. it was aimed at older people who dont know how to use a computer or how to get online and how to work it.

If you want more info on the American Psycho nc-17 battle watch the documentary called "This Film is Not Yet Rated"

Man, we all learnt from LGR today. The actual surprise in your voice is amazing!

5:24 ohhh lol nice I got used to the mouse side buttons, but this is also new information. Thank you, 2000's Internet Guide!

"Let's get some value!" *Ad plays*

Man, these sort of... hrm, internet time capsules of sorts are mesmerizing. I could see an LGR - 'Member the Internet series being successful. Haha!

this is really neat! I love these kinds of videos!!!!

Clint is absolutely loving this CD, great stuff!

I think Google had that old logo for quite a while...into the 2010s I believe.

This almost feels like a history video for me because I didn’t start using the internet until like 2007.

Alt+left&right FTW. That was really useful.

This is awesome! 90's nostalgia now and forever!

Better interface than most of these "new designs" changes for most sites in the last few years tbh...

"Picked 'em up from the printers yesterday." "Good colouring." "That's bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Grail." "Look at that subtle colouring. The tasteful thickness." "Oh my God. It even has a watermark."

This was a really fun video, great job LGR

That was both hilarious and fascinating. I think the most surprisings aspects of it for me were: (1) It's pretty clear that they recorded this on someone's REAL workstation rather than a clean install, and (2) Despite sounding like a ridiculously useless product, it was very professional, and, from what we saw, actually quite pleasant to watch. Remembering how much more difficult "the Web" was to use back then (I graduated high school in 2000), I can easily see a lot of people, especially non-techies, learning a lot from this at the time. At least they had Google by then. Having first used "web portal" search functions around 1995 or so, I can soundly say that all "web search" was garbage before Google. Switching to Google when it came out was like a breath of fresh air. Such a simple site, you didn't have to wait for your (dial-up) connection to load all the categories, headlines, stock tickers, and other junk when you KNEW you wanted to search for something. And, when you did search, it actually managed to find what you were looking for in some of the early pages of results! No more finding the One Thing You Wanted on the fourteenth page of Yahoo / Hotbot / Altavista / whatever results!

COMPUTER: "How to find ANYTHING on the Internet" Okay, then, find civility, respect, and manners within community forums. COMPUTER:

Somehow reminds me of some of the old BBS shareware CDs they used to have back in the early CD-Rom days, had a few different ones but the Night Owl (NOPV) are what I remember most, wasted many many hours on those. Were great for those of us back then who weren't allowed to tie up parents phonelines on a BBS all hours of the day.

Wow February 2000! This is four months before I got crippling depression that is still with me to this day!!!!

Its crazy how far down memory lane you take me lol.... love your content.. 90s were great lol

2:40 Yo that transition was smooooth

I've known about alt+left/right for a long time... but she said it in REVERSE! Left is forward? What is this madness? Was Netscape like this or was it a mistake in the script?

alt+left/right is actually working in Chrome! Thanks for new knowledge, Terry!

I miss the old times.

We’ll teach you how to use a web browser to browse the web, use a word processor to process words, and use excel to, well to excel!

7:50 Prior to Google and Altavista, I was using WebCrawler...

I've never remembered this for a long time but this video did it! This video made me remember the good days of MSN Gaming with motocross madness and midtown madness, monster truck madness.

in some older browsers the backspace button did the function of ALT+Left Arrow

the blue sky background brings me back to when the internet came on a 3.5" floppy you got from school :)

When Chrome removed the backspace functionality I quickly learned to use alt+arrow keys. Works great for me and my big hands, because you can't use left alt (Alt Gr), but everyone else I know hates it.

So, show of hands. Who all tried Alt-Left and Alt-Right themselves as soon as it was brought up in the video?

7:51 "WWF Unveils New Pro Football League" The link has been clicked. Teri confirmed XFL fan.

Displaying a video on a computer screen drawn on your computer screen: cutting edge UI design in the year 2000. Edit: So out of curiosity I Googled Fred Lane, the NFL player that random headline mentions, and apparently he was shot and killed by his wife in July 2000, which has to have been just months after this software came out, if he wasn't already dead by the time it was released. So that was kind of depressing.

Oh, Terri. You had NO idea back in 2000 how integrated into everyone's life the internet would become.

That is so valuable as a memory repository of all the cool stuff and not a tutorial cd :) Love all that stuff too!

I wish there was an AOL archive that includes the AOL downloadable MSDOS and Windows 3.11 games. Those were some of my earliest memories on my IBM Aptiva back in 1996 :)
