Mark - Many thanks. What I enjoy about this time-proven format is that when you
have a question, you receive answers in less than a day. Some forums require
that you spent countless hours searching away for a topic that may or may not
address the question at hand. We enjoy all of the posts, whether or not they
are relevant to us.
As they say, "a check is in the mail".
On another note, someone sent out a link several years ago for a walking tour
of the Roadster Factor before the fire. I think it must have been done during
the Covid era since everyone was wearing a mask. Was that Terri Ann that sent
that? If anyone still has that link, it would be great to see again. That
e-mail was lost on my machine when there was an update of some sort. I wouldn't
know where to start looking for it at the archives.
Thanks to anyone who can help with that.

Subject: [TR] 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 downs 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!
