It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long. I didn’t realize that i signed up that early, 92 or 93 I think. 

Thanks Mark for your service. 

Peace, Pat

Happy Birthday team net and thank you Mark for supporting all these many
years! It was a vastly different world Internet-wise (and otherwise) three
decades ago.

Many things have changed in the world, of course, and many of us who were
here three decades ago are no longer here to celebrate the birthday.

Sometimes it is easy to look backwards fondly and lament what we may have
lost over time, but it also is very important to keep looking forward as
that is where our opportunities and future lie.

I have been a professor for the last three decades and remember when I had
additional phone lines in my house for the modem and fax machines, and that
1,200 baud Hayes modem was the gateway to the Internet.

I have students today who have not known a world without a smartphone with
pervasive Wi-Fi and cel coverage, do not understand why a house would have
a phone (e.g., who would call a house), cannot reliably tell time on
analogue clocks, have never seen a car with a third peddle, are befuddled
at the sight of a kickstarter on a motorcycle, have never seen a newspaper
or a catalogue or understand what a carburettor does, etc.

It is a different world here three decades later, but much of it has
improved dramatically. Our medecine, our electronics. our connectivity, the
efficiency, emissions and power of our cars and motorcycles, etc.

It actually is wonderful that we have the option of driving a BEV, if we
wish, and at the same time I can still drive my '54 MG TF that has a
hand-crank starter hole in the grill or ride my '72 BSA B50SS kickstart,
tickle the carburettor, 600cc single cylinder motorcycle.

The world has changed dramatically as we have spanned the two centuries
together on this list, but it still is a wonderful life, and I would not
change it for anything. We have been blessed to be on this journey
together...

best,

doug

Mark,

Thank you for all your hard work in keeping team.net alive and well.  You have done an outstanding job in helping a ton of people learn more about their various cars by hosting all both the mailing lists and the actual marque specific web pages.

Thanks for your dedication and an outstanding job!

Doug basically said it all.

Thanks from me as a member of several of the mailing lists and the webmaster of the morgan website.
These have helped many people.  You'll never fully realize the number of people in the world that you have touched!!!!

Mark,

Appreciate the work and effort! Things have changed SO Much, like Doug
said. It seems not that long ago when we had FOUR POTS lines at the house,
one personal voice, one business voice & two data lines, IIRC. Originally
14.4, ended up at 56K (I think!). We now live on 10 acres about 35 miles NW
of Bryan/College Station and after 10 years of struggling with ViaSat and
HughesNet, have been on Starlink for just over a year. It's a whole
different world!

Thanks Again, be Well!

RD
