Dunno how early I am, but I'm early enough that I had to submit a
justification-for-joining. I've been on the list ever since

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?

the list
and what they hope to get out of it. 4 - I like to respond
personally to new members rather than run a robot list.

Ah! I joined 3/3/98. Here is the bit from the
subscribe reply:
Hmm, I don't have complete archives from back then - I found an email
that says I was on the list for the second time in July 1998 :-)
Unfortunately a lot of my old email got hosed in a disk crash several
years ago...
I'd joined prior to that though, but in the meantime my company at the
time migrated email addresses over to a new format, and so I fell off
the list for a bit. I don't remember having to justify my inclusion on
the list though.
One of my first posts much have been about my Tektronix XD88, which is
still running (or was on last boot, it deserves another). I know getting
that machine sorted out was an ongoing back-burner project in 1996/1997.

From: Doug Yowza [yowza(a)yowza.com]
Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 1998 12:51 AM
To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers
Subject: Apple 1 at Fry's!
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.
-- Doug

That Apple-1 is still there, though I can't say I noticed the posters the
last time I visited there (a week or so ago).
Doug is still around (I think he may even still be lurking) but the
collecting bug has been mostly squashed for him.

I don't have my subscribe confirmation e-mail but the earliest e-mail I
have in my
Classiccmp archive is dated 11 July 1997 when the list was hosted at
Washington U. (I have some e-mails from earlier dates (like 5 January
1980) but I suspect this is something to do with broken mailers). I
guess I've been here a while :-)

Ok, all these made me look. My first confirmation is dated
April 16, 1997. I've unsubscribed and resubscribed with
different addresses since then but have stayed subscribed
continuously. Given my posting rate, I'm wondering if I
qualify for the highest read to write ratio...
