ScriptMeridian: Keola Donaghy explains how he does his site with the help of the Frontier community.

News.com: IBM to bundle Apache.

Red Herring has trouble making sense of Software.net's valuation.

InfoSeek: Disney purchases 43% stake.

Interesting product! E-Stamp.

Wired: Doerr and friends snuggle with Gore and friends.

You can get anything on the Internet.

AP: All-nun band still grooving.

Salon: We only think old computers are useless. (I don't. They make great servers. Like this machine. It's a Quadra 800, circa 1991. It's very slow for a personal machine, but it does the server job well and never crashes.)

NY Times: The anatomy of new PCs. (More megahertz, RAM and 3D graphics.)

ThinkTank makes a brief appearance on infoworld.com. (I seriously doubt the theory that Microsoft killed ThinkTank. I think we played a pretty big role in its demise. We took our eye off the prize.)

Here's a 1993 review of ThinkTank's successor, MORE written by Matt Neuburg, who chronicles Frontier for O'Reilly. Matt writes so beautifully! And he groks our software at a deep level. Thanks!

O'Reilly puts animals on the cover of all their books. Our animal is the bison. "Bison are the largest mammals in North America: mature males stand about 6.5 feet tall at the shoulder, and weight almost a ton. They generally live in herds, which vary in size and movement." Yeah! That describes the Frontier community.
