Web design magazine from 2000. New tech like… Flash 4! JavaScript! WAP!

Some juicy pictures: Corny Y2K-futuristic graphics on a website Screenshots of all-Flash websites by an old web firm called Spooky and the Bandit Corny full-page art showing various file icons spewing from a hole in cyberspace.
