I did that
too, and I think I joined after Tony. According to my
SUBSCRIBE CLASSICCMP confirmation email (you all kept yours, didn't
you?) from Bill, I joined on Wed, 25 Feb 1998 17:00:15 PST.
That (Feb 1998) would've been almost exactly a year after the list's
inception (~Feb 1997). Was the list still by invitation only at that
point?
Hmmm... I think I joined in Feb 98 too. I seem to remember that Frank
Mcconnell vouched for me. The earliest message I can find in my archive
is March though:

For those in Silicon Valley who haven't been to the new Fry's in
Sunnyvale: go check out CHAC's Apple 1 on display. Unlike the gaudy Mayan
and Aztec themes of some other recent Fry's, this one has sort of an art
deco theme with large posters of HP35s, Xerox Altos, and other machines
worthy of worship.
