nbsp; 34 years ago, how
<br>
time flies!&nbsp; Back then it was just two lists, autox and british-cars. <=
br>
My, things have changed.&nbsp; At its peak, there were 77 lists, I think, <b=
r>
stemming from splitting the british-cars list into Triumph, MG, Healey, <br>=

etc lists.&nbsp; And shop-talk and the-local and Datsun roadsters and <br>
Bricklin and ... you get the idea.<br>
<br>
While Team Net is no longer the only show in town as it was back in the <br>=

early days, there are still just over 30 lists.&nbsp; About half a dozen of <=
br>
these see daily, or almost daily, traffic.&nbsp; Some see hardly any use at <=
br>
all.&nbsp; Back in the mid nineties, the autox list would see like a thousan=
d <br>
messages in August, leading up to the Nationals.&nbsp; I think the one and <=
br>
only year I attended, '97, about 2/3rds of the entrants were on Team <br>
Net.&nbsp; Lost track of how many stickers I sold.&nbsp; Still have a few <b=
r>
somewhere in my office.<br>
<br>
As I recall, the very first server I set up at home was top of the line, <br=

with a 120 MHz processor.&nbsp; Attached is the label for that box.&nbsp; Co=
st me <br>
$2,500.&nbsp; See the photo for the specs :-)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Actually, it=
 didn't cost ME <br>
much money.&nbsp; Before Team Net came about, I had a fundraiser.&nbsp; Back=
 then, <br>
having an internet connection at home was not cheap.&nbsp; I think I raised <=
br>
like $3,000 which got us started down this trail.<br>
<br>
Still accepting donations, though the semi-annual fund drives are a <br>
thing of the past.&nbsp; When folks see fit and have a few bucks to spare, <=
br>
they visit <a href=3D"http://www.team.net/donate.html";>https://na01.safelink=

 - donate early, donate often!<br>
<br>
Yep, it has been over 3 decades I have been doing this, a lot of effort. <br=

&nbsp; Back in the day it would take me at least 10 - 15 hours a week dealin=
g <br>
with errors, bounced mail, maintaining some of the web pages and so on. <br>=

All that effort did land me a berth in the British Sports Car Hall of <br>
Fame.&nbsp; That was nice.<br>
<br>
And I plan on keeping it going as long as I am physically able.<br>
<br>
Anyway, happy birthday Team.Net!<br>
