So here is the question; Does anyone out there in MemeStreams land have any mailing list, BBS, or IRC chat logs from before 1998 that include the word w00t, in particular its use as an exclamation? I know some of you are pack rats and have lots of old stuff lying around. Looking for evidence, and not "I recall" or "we used to."

That's pretty easy actually..

One Google query on etext found these:

* 1994 - Cult of the Dead Cat
* 1995 - Kunt Industries Limited
* 1996 - Evolution
