Thanks Mark for all youâ??ve done over the years! I found the Datsun roadster
list about 92. Really helpful.
Peace,

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.
