RIP: Nando Times
The owner of the Nando Times has decided to pack in the venerable internet nameplate after nine years as one of the pioneering websites for news. I had a Mac LC in 1994 and 1995, living in a dorm in Northwest DC, and before the New York Times or the Washington Post had viable news websites, Nandotimes was delivering 24-hour access to information right through my 10-base-T network card. My memory of the front page then is tainted slightly by the fact that I had a black and white (!) monitor, but the Nandotimes has remained a funny little footnote for my internet lifetime.
The McLatchy Co, which owns the Raleigh News and Observer (from which the Nando Times was born), has decided to cease operations at the Nando Times in about ninety days.
