eKarjala inspired me to take the time and dig up some fossils of today's most popular websites using the Wayback Machine. Click on the images to be taken to the archived websites and the text link to see today's versions:

APPLE (December, 1998)

 

THE WHITE HOUSE (October, 1996)

 

 

YAHOO! (October, 1996)

 

MICROSOFT (December, 1998)

 

and finally……

GOOGLE (Beta) (December, 1998)
