Subject: [Healeys] 30 years. 3 decades<br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr">On this day 30 years ago Team.Net came into being. The British-cars <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">mailing list was already going strong, an offshoot from rec.autos Usenet <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">group. Dale Cook, Jim Muller, then me. Team.net went from 2 lists at <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">the beginning, autox and british-cars, and exploded into nearly 70 <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">different lists with something like 15,000 individuals subscribed at its <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">peak. For a while it was pretty much the only game in town. As I <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">recall, when I attended the SCCA Solo II Nationals 25th Anniversary <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">event, something like 2/3rds of the 1,000+ entrants were on the autox list.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">And it amazes me that with such a scatterbrained procrastinator like me <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">behind the curtain it is still on the air. It is a lot quieter these <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">days, much better software handle many of the janitorial tasks <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">automatically. Back in the beginning, I had to do *everything* by hand, <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">so to speak. Subscribes, unsubscribes, errors, I was spending 10, 15, 20 <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">hours a week maintaining the server. The first server had a 100 MHz <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">processor. Things have changed. Back then just having a fast network <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">connection at a residence was rare and expensive. Good old DSL. I <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">remember that time when my service provider went belly up, and team net <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">was off the air for 11 days straight. I don't miss those days at all.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Anyway, happy birthday to those of you still here. I hope I can <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">continue to provide a useful service for years to come.<br>
