I missed being a real old guy, joining in November of 1999. I had just gotten a dial up connection through IIT (old, alma mater) for 30 buck a year. I lurked for while, peering into the wonders of the Internet.
It was a bit of a lash-up. Little old me huddled over a hand-me-down lap top, dealing with cranky software, in the dark of Chicago winter. (Pause for drama.) The gargling parrot sound on the modem. (Pause again for drama.) Then a connect. Wow. (Smile.)
It is interesting to think about those who are no longer here. What happend to HornEd? FilmoFreddy put up the Audio review of the K-Horn, early on.
Tony R, as I recall, set up the first Pilgrimage. It was hush-hush and the arrangements were not on the open forum. Everything by e-mail. Thanks again Tony.
