[History Channel] Memories

[Liquide]

Well just for good measure I thought of doing some investigation.

What are the (earliest) memories you have from the following websites?

1. Dungeons & Dragons Countdown
2. Wizard of the Coast 3rd edition section
3. Eric Noah's Unofficial 3rd edition news
4. EN World
   [/list=1]
   
   For me it is the following:
   
   1. Shiny red numbers set up in an ISO date + time format that counted down to 3rd edition in real time. Oh and I will never forget the Half-Orc Paladin Concept art
   2. When they brought the first PHB to a sealed box so people could see it for the first time
   3. Shiny gold letters , that later on switched to letters that had 3rd edition concept art in the background.
   4. Well this one is a bit trickier but it is probably a piece of art with a winged creature (B/W)
