its a very good read, theres a lot of predictions made that ended up happening so it got a real eeriness factor to it. also it contains the first 9/11 meme.

When everyone was on dial-up, that would add another minute to the load time of the site. The internet was slow as hell in 2001. And that goes for the web hosts as well - on 9/11, all of the news sites ended up posting simple static pages because they were getting hammered by visitors.
