For a while it was pretty much the only game in town. As I recall, when I attended the SCCA Solo II Nationals 25th Anniversary event, something like 2/3rds of the 1,000+ entrants were on the autox list.<br class=""><br class="">And it amazes me that with such a scatterbrained procrastinator like me behind the curtain it is still on the air. It is a lot quieter these days, much better software handle many of the janitorial tasks automatically. Back in the beginning, I had to do *everything* by hand, so to speak. Subscribes, unsubscribes, errors, I was spending 10, 15, 20 hours a week maintaining the server. The first server had a 100 MHz processor. Things have changed. Back then just having a fast network connection at a residence was rare and expensive. Good old DSL. I remember that time when my service provider went belly up, and team net was off the air for 11 days straight.
