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 changed all that. With the help of Jeff "Hemos" Bates and others, Slashdot has stumbled forward with the simple mission to provide 'News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters'.
