In 1995 armed with 40mhz and 9.900 baud modem I used Netscrape to find if there was a Mac news site called macnn. I eventually found it quite later

There are still quite a few 99'ers around. Probably half my posts are from threads like these.

I found this site by searching for "Cynical Mac Zealots Who Politicize Everything" in google.
Just kidding, it was really "coolest Guys on the Effing Planet who use Macs."

Well, AppleInsider is run by MacNN, I think, and I've been there since May 1990, which is really impressive since the World Wide Web didn't even exist yet back then. So I think the oldest member would have to be me.

According to my profile I registered in 1999, but I didn't really start posting regularly until mid-2000 or so.
