Twenty-five years ago, on October 31, 1989, 18 people filtered into
Hearst Memorial Gym for what was anything but a routine morning
meeting. In an era when email wasn't ubiquitous, many had - quaintly -
learned about this meeting via memos sent in campus mail. A number of
participants wore their Halloween costumes.
That long-ago meeting, called by a campus IT staff member and dBase
programmer who was hoping to “avoiding reinventing the wheel" in his
work, represented Micronet's birth as a campus user group for IT
professionals.
We're planning to further celebrate this anniversary in one or more
ways over the days to follow, but for now, please give thanks for 25
years of Micronet on this very special Halloween Day!

P.S. The group started out being called the Administrative PC Users
Group, then was renamed to UC MicroManagers, finally becoming known as
Micronet sometime during 1990.
