I remember taking over this list over 2 years ago just to keep it alive and well. Some people were worried about a cable broadband connection not keeping up with list traffic, my server crashing, etc. Nice to see that this list is still working, which is good because I can't even remember how to configure the server should my hard drive ever give up. I have a backup pc waiting just in case :) I do store the list emails every couple months on a separate pc. The cost to keep the list up and running really is minimal, but also thank Holland for taking care of paying the domain fees.
If anyone wants to paypal a couple dollars to the "16v list fund" you can do so. I'll split the money with Holland so he can cover some of the cost to renew the domain when it expires :) My paypal email is [email protected] for those interested. later, Chad On Fri, 5 Nov 2004, Larry Velez wrote: > > Thanks for the history lesson Holland.
