WinPost
For a time back in the late 1990's, it seemed like the Web would be a
utopia of free expression. During those heady days, I tried to start an
online publication called WinPost with a number of friends from
the Boston Computer Society.
Before long, reality set in. Online publications require a large time
commitment, and tend to take away from other activities such as earning
a living. It's an old, old story on the Internet -- boundless optimism
gives way to grim practicality.
Herewith the two issues that comprise WinPost's brief day of
glory. Think of them as my small memorial to all the Web sites (and
dreams) that briefly flowered on the Net and then went forever static.
