Yea, I know. I actually knew a couple of the people who helped develop it. It originally ran on a DEC Alpha running NT (it was a special version of NT). DEC put a lot into the ai part. If you ask alta vista a question and us a ? it will try to answer. That part is still there. However, if you do a search on anything else, you will see the same thing and in the same order as if you did it on yahoo.
