Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston had top hits. The Soviet Union is crumbling.<br>The Gulf War begins. And on the 11th the domain Team.Net is registered.<br><br>Happy birthday to us, 24 years and still kicking. Formed out of the Usenet rec.autos tree,<br>it started with just 2 lists, autox and british-cars. It became large enough and busy enough<br>that the officials at the U noticed that a large amount of network traffic was coming from one<br>certain machine in my office. That is what prompted the move to a private server, which has been<br>in my basement for many years.

We've lost a few good ones, but many of us have found lasting friendships from list<br>communications. Back in the early days there wasn't much besides Team.Net. I think the 1997<br>SCCA Solo II nationals had something like 60% of the entrants being autox list subscribers.<br>Those were the days.<br><br>But still here, still providing a valuable service to those who use it. Thanks to all of us<br>for making Team.Net what it is.<br><br>Happy Birthday.<br><br>mjb.<br>_______________________________________________<br>Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br><br>Healeys@autox.team.net<br>http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys<br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/michaelsalter@gmail.com<br><br></body></html>
