First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

When Critical Care's first issue was published we were on the brink of the electronic revolution. In the same year the number of online websites reached 1 million (a mere fraction of the vast resources now available) and for the first time more e-mails were sent than letters [1]. The Internet was swiftly seeping into mainstream use. The initial concept behind Critical Care was to make the most of this emerging resource and utilize the Internet as a platform for sharing of ideas, discussion and education within the intensive care community [2]. The Critical Care Forum website was launched alongside its accompanying journal Critical Care. Now in our 10th year of publication, the website and journal have evolved into a single entity – Critical Care – which continues to strive to make the most of the ongoing 'e-revolution'.
