Why?

Previously to the unique and innovative RoboLink search engine, locating websites on the world wide web that were totally relevant to Northern Ireland was nigh on impossible. If you were the patient type of surfer, a few sites could be located using perhaps Alta Vista, Excite and Google or, if you were the masochistic type of surfer, there was always the alternative source of information: "Directories". Using these, it was, and still is possible, to while away several hours of valuable surfing time in a vain search of something that always would remain, unattainable.
