. My first friends here were John Lasruk, Pops Earl, and some others whose names I can't even recall now. Dang. I just tried and tried to remember those first forum members, but I've lost them!!

I took a very roundabout way to end up at MC. My first board was MacNewsNetwork, which I joined in 2000. Some horrible brouhaha took place there towards the end of that year and I decided I couldn't take the place any more, so I moved to MacMinute, in Jan. of 2001. John, who used to be a mod here but doesn't come any more, had the same trajectory. I didn't join MC until 2005, I think.

Actually it's only been 15 years since MacCentral started their forums, got all emotional I guess. January 31 1998.
There is a link on that page that goes to the section with news stories. I liked the one about the first virtual stock market on the 'Net. Scroll down a little. Think it will ever take off?
The earliest forum pages that they have archived is 2000. I could be found as Doc back then.
