[at-l] 10 years ago!

[Mara Factor]

Well, I only joined at-l eight years ago, but I was using Inter Relay Chat 
(IRC) in 1986 and think I was participating in usenet newsgroups (including 
rec.backcountry) by 1987 or 1988.  Anyone else remember Gerry Gladu's 
postcards from the AT in 1993?  it was probably the first "on-line" AT 
journal.

They're on Kathy's site now:  http://www.fred.net/kathy/at/gladu.html

My company restricted access to newsgroups in the mid-90s so I was off-list 
for a few years until web-based lists and groups became available to me.

Talk about dating oneself...  Yikes!
