The reason I asked about how far back the archives went was my history is one of starting and stopping and now returning.
I was on TIPS fairly early on. I think in the early 90s. But, I left the list for a fair number of years before returning when I joined the faculty here with Bill. We had a good laugh realizing that we had that ancient internet connection. Anyway, in those CDs, Bill, we will find my old posts, and hopefully they won¹t be too embarrassing for me <grin>.
