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! 👏🎂

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.

Mark,

I have only been a member a short while.  Having worked in IT early in my
career, supervised some major installations at Red Hat, I appreciate all
the work it takes to keep a system like this going.

Many kudos to you!

t Net went on the air 35 years ago today, <br>
April 11th, 1991.&nbsp; Been through a lot of ups and down over the years, <=

many different computers, different ISPs, but almost always there.&nbsp; I <=
br>
won't go into the times that ISP problems shut it down for days, or even <br=
weeks at a time.<br>
<br>
But it is still here, still on the air, still serving the purpose I have <br=
always upheld, connecting like minded users to mostly car stuff.&nbsp; And <=
br>
always for free.&nbsp; I do remember back in the beginning it was pretty <br=
expensive to run.&nbsp; Fast, at home internet was not widely available.&nbs=
p; And <br>
the first server, one of the earliest PCs in the valley to run at over <br>
100 Mhz ( Yes, MEGA Hertz! ) cost me $2,500 dollars.&nbsp; Luckily paid for <=
br>
by generous contributions from list members.<br>
<br>
Time marches on, and so does Team Net.&nbsp; I'll keep it going as long as I=
 <br>
can, health permitting.&nbsp; Who knows, maybe I'll be sending out a 50th <b=
r>
birthday notice!<br>
