Yes, on April 11, 1991 the domain was registered and went <br>on the air. In truth, it existed before that in the form of two mailing <br>lists, british-cars and autox which were outgrowths of rec.autos Usenet <br>groups. Murky history there.<br><br>But Team.Net as we know it today has been around for a quarter of a <br>century. Of the 60 some lists on the server, most are inactive. I may <br>take some time this summer to clean up and remove any lists that have <br>not seen any posts for N months, the value of N to be determined. Some <br>lists, though, are still going strong, soldiering on from the days when <br>Team.Net lists and website were at the leading edge, the only game in <br>town. It was estimated that at the 1997 SCCA Solo II Nationals, their <br>Silver Anniversary, roughly 2/3 of the 1,000+ participants were on the <br>autox list. If you check out <a href="http://autox.team.net/" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net </a>you will find many <br>pages last updated about 24.99 years ago, though, hardly leading edge <br>now. One of these days ...<br><br>Who could have foreseen how a simple stream of 1s and 0s could be such a <br>part of the lives of so many people, the catalyst for enduring <br>friendships, a formidable source of knowledge and inspiration? How many <br>cars are on the road these days instead of the scrap heap because of us <br>and our efforts over decades?<br><br>Happy Birthday to us. and carry on!<br><br>mjb.<br><br>ps: I am sending this out a few days early because on Monday I will be <br>on the road somewhere between Phoenix and Salt Lake City. I'll look <br>into the multi-hour delay in posting when I return.<br>_______________________________________________<br><br><a ymailto="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net" href="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net">Mgs@autox.team.net</a><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>Unsubscribe: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/d_dibiase@yahoo.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/d_dibiase@yahoo.com</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
