I'll be impressed when they post some phone numbers.

Amazing, it's great how something so new (online advertising on a search engine) can be already so old. I mean, looks like you had to mail that thing with a $1000 check.

Crazy!

To be fair, they do post quite a lot of phone numbers, I don't know where they dug that page from:

Probably because it's interesting? I never saw the web in its infancy like this. I've spent hours browsing archive.org before to see what the early days of the internet was like back then.
