I was not an early participant on the list, though I did have an old Osborne computer in the 80s, looked like a suitcase (old style suitcase) and had a tiny screen, probably 5" diagonal if that.  I think it had 64k.

The first british car presence I encountered on the Internet was "Scions of Lucas" website, which I believe was part of the team.net and autox and where I learned about the listservs. I joined the Healey list in 1999, and British car ownership was forever changed.

PS.  Any body remember "The Monster List"?
