Thanks for all the time & energy! I think I joined in 92, but canâ??t say for
sure. That reminds me, itâ??s time for a donation!

Nearly half my life! Team dot Net went on the air 35 years ago today, April
11th, 1991. Been through a lot of ups and downs over the years, many different
computers, different ISPs, but almost always there. I won't go into the times
that ISP problems shut it down for days, or even weeks at a time.
But it is still here, still on the air, still serving the purpose I have always
upheld, connecting like minded users to mostly car stuff. And always for free.
I do remember back in the beginning it was pretty expensive to run. Fast, at
home internet was not widely available. And the first server, one of the
earliest PCs in the valley to run at over 100 Mhz ( Yes, MEGA Hertz! ) cost me
$2,500 dollars. Luckily paid for by generous contributions from list members.
Time marches on, and so does Team Net. I'll keep it going as long as I can,
health permitting. Who knows, maybe I'll be sending out a 50th birthday notice!
