    I spend a fait bit of time on line, both work and personal. Here's the story for Joy of Tech:

    Back in the day, wired was the cool place on the net. The web guys at wired started a site called web monkey and mailing list called monkey junkies. In 98 a fellow junkie mentioned a site called slashdot. In 99 slashdot covered a new geek comic strip called After Y2K, Joy of Tech is by the same people who did AY2K.

    Got all that? I don't remember where I first encountered Wired, but it would have been in 95/96.

    - Peace
