History

In 1995, Ron Diamond partnered with Dan Sarto and founded the Animation World Network. A year after Toy Story debuted, Sarto and Diamond produced their first issue. "Back then there weren't many people publishing on the Internet, but we decided to go online and bypass print altogether; not just for cost reasons but because animators are always ahead of the curve when it comes to exploring new technologies," Diamond said.[4]

gollark: If you get someone a thing, you may as just recommend the thing and give them money for it, which is strictly better in that it gives you more choices, *unless* you deliberately want to constrain their options for whatever reason.
gollark: And my general argument against gifts applies here too, of course.
