The unnatural offspring of the Economist and Mondo 2000?

The unnatural offspring of the Economist and Mondo 2000?

Came across issue 1.2 of Wired recently at home.  After 19 years it shows how far we've come and yet how far we have to go.  Archived here: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/1.02/ but you really need to hold it in your hands with the orignal inventive page layout (and all the original advertisements!) 

Topics included:

  - The Cypherpunk movement.

  - 3DO!

  - Jaron - (who coined VR)

Gadgetry?

 - Early 3D printers

 - VR glasses

 - DCC  or Minidisc?

Oh and just wait till I dig out the Mondo 2000s, I know I put them somewhere...

On their iPad app they have the first issue with detailed annotations. It's very interesting to read. Also: 1.5 GB.

I used to have that issue but can't find it. I know a bunch of the cypher punks in it. I also have most of MODO 2000 and Fringe Ware Review. I really wish I could find that old wired thou.
