9/9/09, aside from tweaking numerologists, is the 64th anniversary of
Grace Hopper discovering the first computer bug:

But more on topic for RMR, it's the 20th anniversary of Mike Jungclas
starting RMR! Here's the email he sent me back then that started it
all:

Wow, I guess good things just happen together. It was twenty years
ago that (this spring) that I moved to town and started back at the
U. Got a job at the U Sept 25th, and got an "official" usenet/
internet* account. Up until then it was just FidoNet on dialup (I
still have the 2400 baud external modem!).

*OK, was it really teh intarwebs even back then? Usenet news, ftp,
email, but no html...

So, what are the five people who still post on r.m.r. and the 12
people who still lurk on r.m.r. going to do to celebrate?

It was fun back in it's prime.......

Ok, here are my contributions/remembrances, of/to, the celebration...

1. Best and most knowledgeable glue expert ever on rmr: Paul "Fly Baby Fly"
Diming. He knew/knows more about glue than the factory and was one of the
most courteous posters on rmr when I arrived in January of 1996.

2. Best name: Yitah Woo. Personally, I think Yitah secretly started Ebay and
single-handedly caused the price of OOP rockets to spike from his many
auctions 10 years ago.

3. "Jerry did it!" Whatever it was. Can't have a thread to celebrate rmr
without mentioning Jerry.

4. And just for the heck of it... "knob"


RMR was the best soap opera around.
