What it does

On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 1998

Tutorials that taught children and teenagers to build web pages by writing their own HTML, made by Lissa Daniels, who began it as a child.

Daniels began it at 11 on GeoCities in 1997, as a list of HTML codes she kept forgetting. By summer 2000 it had over 500,000 hits a month, CNN Headline News had featured her, and its help forum later had 75,000 members.

In 1998: Aged 12, Daniels bought her own domain this year and gave the site its name.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
