1997: Lost in Mars Mania

NASA put a probe on Mars, the red planet. The world went crazy. Well, the on-line world did. There were live updates on-line. VRML virtual reality models of the martian surface. Quicktime VR panaramas. Soil analisys data. It was all overwhelming. Amongst all this, I turned 21.

Dad purchased a nice (for then) DC40 Digital Camera. On-line images in an instant were mine.

Eskimo Joe played at the End of Semester Bash at UWA.
