The Turtle's first full calendar year on the web is commemorated on this page. Beginning with the Great Leap Forwards of February, which gave the Turtle its present design, 1999 was a year of inexorable progress. The Stakhanovite of the Month Hall of Fame was inauguarated; the Reviews of the Turtle began to appear, as did The Turtle Salutes...!; the Dictionary continued to expand; and ten Bulletins were sent out to our growing flock of subscribers from all around the world. Avanti popolo!
