I first got online in 1993, back when the Web had a capital letter — three, in fact — and long before irony stretched its legs and unbuttoned its flannel shirt. Back when you could really say you were surfing the net. And the first thing I did when I logged on line, every single time, for years was to load up Netscape’s What’s Cool.
