"I guess what lead up to becoming Cotse all started back in '91-'92, I
started a site called The Security Garage. It was a simple site (back
before frames, I think the blink tag was new) that hosted system and
network security information. Nothing really special happened except
some other later well known sites websnaked it and used it as a base for
their start."  More at http://www.cotse.com/20040228.html
