<div class="PlainText">Raise a glass to Team.Net! April 11, 1991 the domain went on the air.
<br>
26 years ago, a quarter of a century. Hard to believe it has been that <br>
long. In truth the foundation was laid some years before then, with <br>
USENET rec.autos newsgroups evolving into what became the British cars <br>
and the Autox lists. Richard Welty, Dale Cook and Jim Muller are some <br>
names from back than.<br>
<br>
Somehow I got involved while I was working at the University of Utah. It <br>
got to the point where the British car and autocross email traffic <br>
hosted from my desktop machine at work became a very noticeable source <br>
of network traffic. The powers that be STRONGLY suggested that such was <br>
not official university business and should be discontinued. So I moved <br>
the lists to a server at my house. Back then it wasn't quite so simple <br>
and so cheap. I sent out a plea for funding and got a great response. <br>
Thanks to the U of U having a good relationship with Hewlett-Packard I <br>
was able to procure one of the first machines with over a 100 megahertz <br>
CPU, a 20 megabyte hard drive and something like 8 megs of RAM. All for <br>
about a mere $2,500 dollars.<br>
<br>
Things have progressed since then. Still hosted from my house, still <br>
taking a bit of my time every day. Hard to believe that a scatterbrained <br>
procrastinator like me has been behind the curtain for all these years, <br>
keeping it going. Team.Net is not as active as it was some years ago. <br>
The autocross list is basically dead now, but when I took the Killer <br>
Spit to the SCCA Solo Nationals in 1997, over half the drivers there <br>
were subscribers to the autocross list.<br>
<br>
Back then there were not many choices. Now there are myriads of <br>
automotive related web sites, forums and such available. But there are <br>
still many folks who enjoy the Team.Net email lists, who love to share <br>
their exploits, their frustrations, their lives with like minded <br>
individuals.<br>
<br>
Happy Birthday to us.<br>
