Well done. I've been with you for nearly 30 of those years and it's nice when the occasional post still pops up these days.

A bit like an old friend calling, reminding you they're still alive!

Nearly half my life!  Team dot Net went on the air 35 years ago today,
April 11th, 1991.  Been through a lot of ups and downs over the years,
many different computers, different ISPs, but almost always there.  I
won't go into the times that ISP problems shut it down for days, or even
weeks at a time.

But it is still here, still on the air, still serving the purpose I have
always upheld, connecting like minded users to mostly car stuff.  And
always for free.  I do remember back in the beginning it was pretty
expensive to run.  Fast, at home internet was not widely available.  And
the first server, one of the earliest PCs in the valley to run at over
100 Mhz ( Yes, MEGA Hertz! ) cost me $2,500 dollars.  Luckily paid for
by generous contributions from list members.

Time marches on, and so does Team Net.  I'll keep it going as long as I
can, health permitting.  Who knows, maybe I'll be sending out a 50th
birthday notice!
