THE DIGITAL LADY: Fifteen years ago today the New York Times published an article titled, "The New York Times Introduces a Web Site," announcing that "The New York Times begins publishing daily on the World Wide Web today, offering readers around the world immediate access to most of the daily newspaper's contents" and that such content would exceed the "@times" service it had been providing to subscribers of America Online. The Web, the article explained, was "the Internet's fastest-growing service, which lets computer users see electronic publications consisting of text, pictures and, in some cases, video and sound."  Sounds like fun.
