AltaVista is being lowered into the grave. Kids, go ask your parents about AltaVista - and its founder, Digital Equipment Corp., which turned a sleepy former mill town on the Assabet River into a high-tech mecca.
Meanwhile, Lycos still exists, run out of US headquarters in Waltham.

Gizmodo Profiled Some Ancient But Surviviving Website...
Gizmodo ran an item a few months ago profiling several ancient web sites that are still surviving (or at least at the time this post came out): http://gizmodo.com/5960831/23-ancient-web-sites-th... Rachel Maddow once mentioned the Dole/Kemp website on her show and the fact that it was still alive (Dole, just barely; Kemo RIP).
