Subject: [Spits] Birthday

 

April 11th.  As many o= f you know, the domain team.net was officially

reg= istered on April 11, 1991, by the late Bill Caloccia.  I have been

managing the mailing lists on autox.team.net since th= en, actually for a

while before that.  I took= over  from Jim Muller, who took over from

Da= le Cook, and I wish I had archives of those first few years.  Actually=

I may have some in my office, on 1/4 inch tape ca= ssettes.  Every now and

then I consider tryin= g to revive some of the old HP-UX boxes I have to

= see if I can still read any of those tapes.  Maybe someday.

 

Anyway, in the begi= nning I was routing everything through the servers at

the University of Utah Computer Science Department, where I was

employed.  When my fellow sys admins started noticin= g just how much

network traffic there was on a cer= tain box, my boss strongly suggested I

make other = arrangements.  So I went about getting a network connection

at home.  Back then, it was not that easy, or cheap.&nb= sp; And as I recall,

the first dedicated Team Net = server was an HP box with one of the first

100+ me= gahertz CPUs, and even with a deal through HP, who worked closely

with the U in those days the system set me back about $2,50= 0.  Hardware

has improved since then.  A= nd that money didn't all come out of my

pocket, I = initiated a fund drive among the list members and got a great

response.  Back then it was all checks in the mail, and I= mailed a thank

you postcard to every contributor,= or at least most of them, no doubt I

missed a few= .  And for some time there was an annual fund drive to cover

the rather high cost of having sufficient bandwidth from my= house.

 

S= o here it is 29 and just everybody has fast network available to

them.   I dropped the fund drives some years back,= though folks do

continue to contribute to the cau= se.  Now a few clicks in Paypal can

take care= of it, though some still prefer to send checks. Yep, things

are different now.  And with the Covid-19 pandemic, a LOT= different. 

But the Team Net mailing lists a= re still chugging along, providing those

spending = more time at home a bit of distraction, entertainment or

education as we keep our beloved vehicles rolling along the roads.

 

I plan to = keep it going as long as I can, who knows how many years I

have left.  April 11th is also my birthday, 66 this year, and= I

certainly won't live forever.  And I fear = that when I die, Team Net will

die.  Sigh.

 

But for now= , enjoy and stay healthy.

 

mjb.

Subject: [Spits] Birthday

 

April 11th.  As many o= f you know, the domain team.net was officially

reg= istered on April 11, 1991, by the late Bill Caloccia.  I have been

managing the mailing lists on autox.team.net since th= en, actually for a

while before that.  I took= over  from Jim Muller, who took over from

Da= le Cook, and I wish I had archives of those first few years.  Actually=

I may have some in my office, on 1/4 inch tape ca= ssettes.  Every now and

then I consider tryin= g to revive some of the old HP-UX boxes I have to

= see if I can still read any of those tapes.  Maybe someday.

 

Anyway, in the begi= nning I was routing everything through the servers at

the University of Utah Computer Science Department, where I was

employed.  When my fellow sys admins started noticin= g just how much

network traffic there was on a cer= tain box, my boss strongly suggested I

make other = arrangements.  So I went about getting a network connection

at home.  Back then, it was not that easy, or cheap.&nb= sp; And as I recall,

the first dedicated Team Net = server was an HP box with one of the first

100+ me= gahertz CPUs, and even with a deal through HP, who worked closely

with the U in those days the system set me back about $2,50= 0.  Hardware

has improved since then.  A= nd that money didn't all come out of my

pocket, I = initiated a fund drive among the list members and got a great

response.  Back then it was all checks in the mail, and I= mailed a thank

you postcard to every contributor,= or at least most of them, no doubt I

missed a few= .  And for some time there was an annual fund drive to cover

the rather high cost of having sufficient bandwidth from my= house.

 

S= o here it is 29 and just everybody has fast network available to

them.   I dropped the fund drives some years back,= though folks do

continue to contribute to the cau= se.  Now a few clicks in Paypal can

take care= of it, though some still prefer to send checks. Yep, things

are different now.  And with the Covid-19 pandemic, a LOT= different. 

But the Team Net mailing lists a= re still chugging along, providing those

spending = more time at home a bit of distraction, entertainment or

education as we keep our beloved vehicles rolling along the roads.

 

I plan to = keep it going as long as I can, who knows how many years I

have left.  April 11th is also my birthday, 66 this year, and= I

certainly won't live forever.  And I fear = that when I die, Team Net will

die.  Sigh.

 

But for now= , enjoy and stay healthy.

 

mjb.
