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!
