As many of you know, the domain <a href="http://team.net" target="_blank">team.net</a> was officially <br>registered on April 11, 1991, by the late Bill Caloccia. I have been <br>managing the mailing lists on <a href="http://autox.team.net" target="_blank">autox.team.net</a> since then, actually for a <br>while before that. I took over from Jim Muller, who took over from <br>Dale Cook, and I wish I had archives of those first few years. Actually <br>I may have some in my office, on 1/4 inch tape cassettes. Every now and <br>then I consider trying to revive some of the old HP-UX boxes I have to <br>see if I can still read any of those tapes. Maybe someday.<br><br>Anyway, in the beginning I was routing everything through the servers at <br>the University of Utah Computer Science Department, where I was <br>employed. When my fellow sys admins started noticing just how much <br>network traffic there was on a certain box, my boss strongly suggested I <br>make other arrangements. So I went about getting a network connection <br>at home. Back then, it was not that easy, or cheap. And as I recall, <br>the first dedicated Team Net server was an HP box with one of the first <br>100+ megahertz CPUs, and even with a deal through HP, who worked closely <br>with the U in those days the system set me back about $2,500. Hardware <br>has improved since then. And that money didn't all come out of my <br>pocket, I initiated a fund drive among the list members and got a great <br>response. Back then it was all checks in the mail, and I mailed a thank <br>you postcard to every contributor, or at least most of them, no doubt I <br>missed a few. And for some time there was an annual fund drive to cover <br>the rather high cost of having sufficient bandwidth from my house.<br><br>So here it is 29 and just everybody has fast network available to <br>them. I dropped the fund drives some years back, though folks do <br>continue to contribute to the cause. Now a few clicks in Paypal can <br>take care of it, though some still prefer to send checks. Yep, things <br>are different now. And with the Covid-19 pandemic, a LOT different. <br>But the Team Net mailing lists are still chugging along, providing those <br>spending more time at home a bit of distraction, entertainment or <br>education as we keep our beloved vehicles rolling along the roads.<br><br>I plan to keep it going as long as I can, who knows how many years I <br>have left. April 11th is also my birthday, 66 this year, and I <br>certainly won't live forever. And I fear that when I die, Team Net will <br>die. Sigh.<br><br>But for now, enjoy and stay healthy.<br><br>mjb.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><br><a href="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net" target="_blank">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><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/mgs" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/pipermail/mgs</a> <a href="http://autox.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br><br>Unsubscribe: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/h.duinhoven@planet.nl" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/h.duinhoven@planet.nl</a><br><br><br>-- <br>Dit e-mailbericht is gecontroleerd op virussen met Avast antivirussoftware.<br><a href="https://www.avast.com/antivirus" target="_blank">https://www.avast.com/antivirus</a><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><br><a href="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net" target="_blank">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><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/mgs" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/pipermail/mgs</a> <a href="http://autox.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br><br>Unsubscribe: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/eyera3000@gmail.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/eyera3000@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></div></div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br /> <table style="border-top: 1px solid #D3D4DE;">
