Needless to go round in circles. In a note from long-time ago, Herman has said that the initial number at the launch of GoaNet was 20 and he has given the date. How did Sept 17 come into the picture and how was GoaNet "formally launched."? Did any one person or a group launch it "officially" and where? Perhaps John D'Souza or Tim de Mello should confirm if GoaNet was hosted by Goacom for a short time. GoaWeb merged into GoaNet, isn't it?
I have called Herman Van Wickle before for the only reason is that he wakes up on Aug. 25 to deliver his thank-you note. Will he please wake up again and give us his privileged view on the subject so that we can put this whole business of dating GoaNet to rest once and for all? Marlon should also add his knowledge of GoaWeb and GoaNet to the debate to get an all-round picture. These two can help separate fact from fiction. It would also be good to add the names of the volunteers who served on the Admin Team and the time period they were there. A detailed history is important for anyone seeking to research the Goan venture into cyberspace. Eugene
