ZDNet 20th Anniversary Special

Happy birthday, ZDNet! Twenty years ago, this site began as a subscription-based digital service called "ZiffNet" that offered computing information to users of CompuServe. We've asked the original team to remember those days, plus invited our current roster to look back on computing in 1991. Read on, reminisce -- then contribute your memories.
