| Thread-topic: | [Fot] 35 years! |
I miss team.net in its original iteration. One of my complaints about today's world is there's too damn many ways to communicate. Back in the day when I needed to contact the autocross world, one message on team.net would do it. Now it takes 130+ postings on separate Facebook pages to achieve the same effect and people seem to be migrating away from that. But congratulations to you, Mark. You bring the world together! ð???ð??? --Rocky Entriken -----Original Message----- From: Fot <fot-bounces@autox.team.net> On Behalf Of Mark Bradakis Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2026 5:03 PM To: Fot <fot@autox.team.net> Subject: [Fot] 35 years! Nearly half my life! Team dot Net went on the air 35 years ago today, April 11th, 1991. Been through a lot of ups and down over the years, many different computers, different ISPs, but almost always there. I won't go into the times that ISP problems shut it down for days, or even weeks at a time. But it is still here, still on the air, still serving the purpose I have always upheld, connecting like minded users to mostly car stuff. And always for free. I do remember back in the beginning it was pretty expensive to run. Fast, at home internet was not widely available. And the first server, one of the earliest PCs in the valley to run at over 100 Mhz ( Yes, MEGA Hertz! ) cost me $2,500 dollars. Luckily paid for by generous contributions from list members. Time marches on, and so does Team Net. I'll keep it going as long as I can, health permitting. Who knows, maybe I'll be sending out a 50th birthday notice! mjb. _______________________________________________ fot@autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/mharc@autox.team.net |
