Back then it was just two lists, autox and british-cars. <br></div><div>My, things have changed. At its peak, there were 77 lists, I think, <br></div><div>stemming from splitting the british-cars list into Triumph, MG, Healey, <br></div><div>etc lists. And shop-talk and the-local and Datsun roadsters and <br></div><div>Bricklin and ... you get the idea.<br></div><div><br></div><div>While Team Net is no longer the only show in town as it was back in the <br></div><div>early days, there are still just over 30 lists. About half a dozen of <br></div><div>these see daily, or almost daily, traffic. Some see hardly any use at <br></div><div>all. Back in the mid nineties, the autox list would see like a thousand <br></div><div>messages in August, leading up to the Nationals. I think the one and <br></div><div>only year I attended, '97, about 2/3rds of the entrants were on Team <br></div><div>Net. Lost track of how many stickers I sold. Still have a few <br></div><div>somewhere in my office.<br></div><div><br></div><div>As I recall, the very first server I set up at home was top of the line, <br></div><div>with a 120 MHz processor. Attached is the label for that box. Cost me <br></div><div>$2,500. See the photo for the specs :-) Actually, it didn't cost ME <br></div><div>much money. Before Team Net came about, I had a fundraiser. Back then, <br></div><div>having an internet connection at home was not cheap. I think I raised <br></div><div>like $3,000 which got us started down this trail.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Still accepting donations, though the semi-annual fund drives are a <br></div><div>thing of the past. When folks see fit and have a few bucks to spare, <br></div><div>they visit <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a> - donate early, donate often!<br></div><div><br></div><div>Yep, it has been over 3 decades I have been doing this, a lot of effort. <br></div><div> Back in the day it would take me at least 10 - 15 hours a week dealing <br></div><div>with errors, bounced mail, maintaining some of the web pages and so on. <br></div><div>All that effort did land me a berth in the British Sports Car Hall of <br></div><div>Fame. That was nice.<br></div><div><br></div><div>And I plan on keeping it going as long as I am physically able.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, happy birthday <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://Team.Net">Team.Net</a>!<br></div><div><br></div><div>mjb.<br></div></div><div><span><20250411_131842.jpg></span><br></div><div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>Support <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://Team.Net">Team.Net</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br></div><div>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br></div><div><br></div><div>Archive: <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys">http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://autox.team.net/archive/healeys">http://autox.team.net/archive/healeys</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br></div><div><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/airtightproductions@icloud.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/airtightproductions@icloud.com</a><br></div></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
