Isn't it interesting seeing all these new names in unix-pc.general.
I feel like an old timer visting his high school 10 years later.
I wonder if some other "Old timers" are still here.

I'm still here (at least I was the last time I looked...) Real Soon Now I'll be updating my list of things available via anonymous uucp from skeeve. I've been really incredibly busy at work lately, so I haven't had any time to devote to skeeve recently. I am going to try and change that real soon though.

Ay yuh, wahl yuh see ah wuz out yondah in the back 40 with this 'ol hod disk that wuz givin me a heap 'o trouble, an' ah dun just plunked down the bucks to replace it. Yay-uh, tahm moves slow fo' us fogies. -dB I think a lot of people have moved onto other platforms. Other than the mythological SCSI card, it is hard to get worked up about anything for the UPC anymore. I am constantly wondering whether putting any more money into it is a sane thing to do, when $4K would put me in a 386 box that ran X windows.

The three of us who started the unix-pc network are still around and have functioning 7300s: Kathy Vincent, David Dalton, and myself. Our machines, gladys, bakerst, and ethos (respectively) are still unix-pc feed machines, and so far as I know, we all are still willing to take on new feeds. It is indeed gratifying to have watched the unix-pc net grow and flourish as it has. -- Gary J.
