The subject "history" coming up prompted my searching my old floppies to
see when I came on board as the initial cc of Charlotte and Mecklenburg.
I thought it would be fun to find my earliest emails to read those back and
forth with Linda Lewis trying to explain HTML to me. Then a little later
of MY trying to explain HTML to Gayle Austin, cc of Pittsylvania. Found
the Eudora backup disk, but it was blank! I kept flipping through the
disks for whatever I could find. I couldn't believe I found I had captured
on 6-27-96 the VAGenWeb home page. Only 19 of the Virginia counties had
volunteers, and captured at the bottom is "My Page Counter says you are
visitor #0097 since June 15, 1996." It is a miracle I even knew how to
capture the page. I was not new to computer, but I was very green at the
internet and HTML.
Thought I would share this piece of history (on a snowy day In Raleigh, NC
the first real snow here in a few years).
