Before they were famous:

BackRub - Larry Page's original Search algorithm - April '97. Read the notes at the bottom of the page and notice that Sergey falls under the "we'd also like to thank" category.
Google '97 - The whole Google database comprises only 109GB of data
Google - Nov '98 - notice the proud link to a Russian writeup in Locomotive News on the about Google page.

It's too spooky. It's like seeing pictures of Manhattan when buildings were all under 4 storeys high. It makes your head spin to think that so much was built in such a short time.

I feel both humbled and inspired looking at these pages. Google was tiny and darting between the legs of giants. The Netscape IPO had fired the starting gun and things were in full swing by the time the pages you see above were published. Now it's Google's legs that upstarts dart between and their feet that we avoid. Awesome.
