In the beginning there was no Slashdot. Bored and confused geeks would
scribble "First Post" in the sand. Grits were strictly for consumption
and there wasn't a place to get nerd oriented news. Then in September
of 97 Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda [1] changed all that. With the help of Jeff "Hemos" Bates [2] and others, Slashdot has stumbled forward with the simple mission to provide 'News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters'.
