April 11th, 1991. Been through a lot of ups and downs over the years, <br>
many different computers, different ISPs, but almost always there. I <br>
won't go into the times that ISP problems shut it down for days, or even <br>
weeks at a time.<br>
<br>
But it is still here, still on the air, still serving the purpose I have <br>
always upheld, connecting like minded users to mostly car stuff. And <br>
always for free. I do remember back in the beginning it was pretty <br>
expensive to run. Fast, at home internet was not widely available. And <br>
the first server, one of the earliest PCs in the valley to run at over <br>
100 Mhz ( Yes, MEGA Hertz! ) cost me $2,500 dollars. Luckily paid for <br>
by generous contributions from list members.<br>
<br>
Time marches on, and so does Team Net. I'll keep it going as long as I <br>
can, health permitting. Who knows, maybe I'll be sending out a 50th <br>
birthday notice!<br>
