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.

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.
