Gavin,

You might be thinking of Blacksburg, VA - home of the Va. Tech Hokies.
Not everyone in town was given computers, but computer clusters were set
up all over town at libraries and other public locales.  Businesses,
Tech, city government set up web pages in droves.  I can't remember
the corporate sponsor, but I know there is one.  And, if recollection
serves, the San Jose Bee wrote a story about Blacksburg as the most wired
city in America.  I'm sure the Va. Tech home pages could tell you more.

Hope this helps.
