Oh man, I have never seen this thread before, but I think my first exposure to Neowin was via Desktop Sidebar in 2004, which included several news feeds in it's News Panel via RSS, including Neowin, Slashdot, and many others! I just had a squiz on WayBack, and it all came flooding back. A test release of MSN Messenger 7?! Holy crap, that stuff was like crack to me as a teenager! *Nudge*

Just stumbled across this site again. 

Delighted to see it's still going. I have vague memories of speaking to the founder in an Irish Bar in the Netherlands in the early 2000's. He was a delightful chap with a real passion for gadgets!

Nice to see it's still going strong.

A Pacific NW resident for a majority of my eons of existance. Known to rearrange 1's and 0's starting many years ago. Lived and workef in several countries around our world. Almost ended up in a former East Berlin prison for a few years, accused of trying to smuggle a woman to freedom in West Berlin (1967).

My wonderful significant partner also had experience living outside of of the PNW in her young years. Her father was a US spy stationed for a while in Moscow. He also came close to potential incarceration. He and family were able to escape.

Spent a few years as an investigatine news reporter with a former Auburn radio station.

Enjoying life in our relatively new home, in which we are continuing our significant updates. My past home remodeling experience is coming in handy alongside her experience with the finishing aspects to coordinate the new, refreshing home for us and our two dogs.

More later...
