Subject: [Healeys] 30 years. 3 decades
On this day 30 years ago Team.Net came into being. The British-cars
mailing list was already going strong, an offshoot from rec.autos Usenet
group. Dale Cook, Jim Muller, then me. Team.net went from 2 lists at
the beginning, autox and british-cars, and exploded into nearly 70
different lists with something like 15,000 individuals subscribed at its
peak. For a while it was pretty much the only game in town. As I
recall, when I attended the SCCA Solo II Nationals 25th Anniversary
event, something like 2/3rds of the 1,000+ entrants were on the autox list.
And it amazes me that with such a scatterbrained procrastinator like me
behind the curtain it is still on the air. It is a lot quieter these
days, much better software handle many of the janitorial tasks
automatically. Back in the beginning, I had to do *everything* by hand,
so to speak. Subscribes, unsubscribes, errors, I was spending 10, 15, 20
hours a week maintaining the server. The first server had a 100 MHz
processor. Things have changed. Back then just having a fast network
connection at a residence was rare and expensive. Good old DSL. I
remember that time when my service provider went belly up, and team net
was off the air for 11 days straight. I don't miss those days at all.
Anyway, happy birthday to those of you still here. I hope I can
continue to provide a useful service for years to come.
mjb.
