The date was also my first day at ioNET/Internet Oklahoma, Inc., 
my first UNIX/ISP job (I was tech support, "graduated" to assistant
BOFH before I left..)

it was a VERY interesting first day, to say the least.  We ended up
winning a few awards for our online news coverage of what happened,
this was back in the day before widespread online news, etc.

At the time, we even had a streaming RealVideo (I think) feed of 
one of the local TV news channels that was doing 24/7 coverage.
It was probably illegal, but at the time, NOBODY cared - we just
wanted to get as much news as possible out to everyone.
