Wired, back then, was about something. About this big new thing, the Internet. About democracy, change, and a whole new conception of life. About cryotechnically-insured, singularity-worshipping, life-extending Californians with toasters running Java. And pretty soon, we'd all have a modem and be like that.
Today, Wired's CD is Agent Smith, and his greatest idea seems to be to make money with downloadable multimedia CD-ROMs. How 1990s!

Back then, I used to go to the ICA and get Wired and Mondo 2000.
Mondo 2000 sort-of fizzled out early on -- which, in retrospect, seems much the better end.
