What it does
On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 11 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 2002
A free webmail service from Yahoo, now used by an estimated 225 million people.
Yahoo launched it on 8 October 1997 by buying Four11 for $92 million in stock and using its RocketMail service, since building one would have taken months while Hotmail kept growing.
In 2002: In March Yahoo ended free access from desktop mail programs and offered a paid forwarding service at $29.99 a year.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
