I'm not blasting away like I used to (I still have machines turned off to save power), but I did manage to creep over 11,000 WU's!

ps - Using Google's new Usenet archieve, I've been able to find some posts by me dating back to 1992. I know that I posted even earlier than that (via Apple ][ bbs that was hooked up to usenet). I'm wracking my brain to try and remember the email address I had back then. I can't search by a "handle" because I've always been Michael or a variation of MPotter and it comes up with too much info ...) (edit - I found a post in 1991, but my friend Derek was using my account (I have a free account on GEnie as I was an Apple ][ help person))

Congrats! :D

Did you sounds stupid back then? I always sound stupid when I read stuff I wrote a while ago. :)

Sukhoi - I'm 35 now, so those messages were written when I was 26/27. I posted on Usenet when I was is my early 20's. My stupid posting were on BBS' before the internet was really available, so they're lost in the mists of time <grin>.

Here's a post of me doing For Sale/For Trade when the use of the Internet was very rare and Usenet was the way to go. If only I had thought of it back then. I posted from my GF's (at the time, my next GF is now my wife) computer because her school connection was much better than anything else I had available to me.

Old Usenet post

I'm still looking for the ones from my younger days (in which, honestly, I'm older than many posters on AT).

ps - congrats on the 13K NWM!

pps - JWM - They never made a new client for the version of HP that my fellow "Cuppie" used to help me out. It would be nice to do 600+ WU a day again. If I challenge you to a race again, you'll know what happened <grin>

Congrats Michael :)

For the newer guy's on the team, Michael use'd to crank out some BIG munber's a while back, like 3 to 6 hundred a day.

You're old. ;)

For some reason I'm not surprised MIT had a good connection back then. :)
