It was way cool.
Imagine if you will a crazy kid staying up late nights in the library (for faster connections) and on his dorm computer (for convience). It was a virgin time for the internet, kiddies. There were links to BoingBoing, Wired, thousands of band fan pages, a Dr. Seuss Page, my own fan pages for Julian Barnes and Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey. My cohort in many crimes, Matt, had a nice page called Little City Underground that was linked there, too. Supposedly our infamous one issue 'zine, Sanity was eventually supposed to have a page there, as well as our all-mac all the time network, QuippyNet™. Those in the know, Like Michael-Jon Kandewhal, linked to it and greatly mourned its passing and eventual conversion into some meathead's student web page years later.
