What was so special about 1997?

Not GP, but I would just like to say that while every time period has good and bad, 1997 was pretty damn great in the grand scheme of things. Not just that year, but the 90s in general. If I could pick a decade to live in and never leave...

Interesting that the Matrix picked the 90s as it's world to lock humanity into as well... Prescient?

The author mentions needing the parts for Apple Network Servers, so I went and checked when those stopped being sold, which was ~1997.
