    Exactly.
    The prime reason the Google home page is so bare is due to the fact that the founders didn't know HTML and just wanted a quick interface.

    "I took a peek at WayBackMachine.com and found Google's first website."

    Technically this is incorrect, the first 'Google website' is archived under google.standford.edu. Although obviously he meant the first Google.com webpage, I thought i'd post it for the sake of enjoyment I get from being annoying.

    Don't miss the pictures and stats of Google hardware, or Sergey's and Larry's Stanford pages either for those who haven't seen it all before.
