Bobby,
Idea was to keep it ROADSTER RELATED. Still applies ;-)
Pretty much the original folks on the list used Sun Workstations
so the discussions were about roadsters and some neat SCRIPTING
tricks, with a few flames regarding the different flavors of
Unix, which shell to run, and along the various emacs vs.
vi flame wars! Oh some discussion about roadsters. ;-)
We all agreed that roadsters were cool, but would still
flame each other over the best editors (down with vi!!!)
Cheers,
Tom Walter
