Happy birthday to us, 24 years and still kicking. Formed out of the Usenet
rec.autos tree,
it started with just 2 lists, autox and british-cars. It became large
enough and busy enough
that the officials at the U noticed that a large amount of network traffic
was coming from one
certain machine in my office. That is what prompted the move to a private
server, which has been
in my basement for many years. Well, we are NOT running on the same server
from back then, which I
recall was one of the first 120 Megahertz systems in the valley outside of
universities. With the
CS departments work with Hewlett-Packard, I had a connection.
A lot has changed over the years, folks have come and gone, some have been
hanging out here for
decades. We've lost a few good ones, but many of us have found lasting
friendships from list
communications. Back in the early days there wasn't much besides Team.Net.
I think the 1997
SCCA Solo II nationals had something like 60% of the entrants being autox
list subscribers.
Those were the days.
But still here, still providing a valuable service to those who use it.
Thanks to all of us
for making Team.Net what it is.
Happy Birthday.
mjb.
