Wired 2.06Ten years ago I bought my first issue of Wired. How could I resist that EFF vs. NSA cover?

The “Net Surf” section was an introduction to URLs. The web was at this point a few years old, but still small. Mosaic was the big thing; Netscape wouldn’t be released until October.

I think I wrote some CGIs that year … in C. They were probably guestbooks, because that’s what everyone used CGI for.
