    Fred,

    Many Thanks for all you've done in furthering this and the ham radio hobby.

    15 years, huh?  And all this time without MICRO$TUFF [​IMG] and the infamous BSOD,  [​IMG]  Well?  Linux/Unix just rocks!

    Happy Thanksgiving, Fred, all!

    Respectfully submitted,
    73,

    Congratulations OM! I enjoyed your story a lot.
    The early days sure were exciting. I remember
    installing Mosiac 1.0 on my Data General AViiON
    UNIX workstation and thinking, this is *THE*
    application of all apps to come! Thanks for QRZ.COM.

    Congrats, Fred! I have quite a few disks, but I doubt I've got a first edition. But I will have a 30th edition! Keep up the great work. Best 73, Gerry

    Coolness. [​IMG] I guess that was just about the best way to distribute large data/software packages back then, before CDROM became cheap and ubiquitous? Back in 1992, I had just started up my own BBS, on my V20-based "luggable" XT clone with a 40-meg "card drive" [a hard drive integrated with a controller card to plug right into an ISA slot without using a drive bay]. The good old days...

    I still have a QIC-80 tape drive in my tower. Oh, I have a CDRW drive too, of course, but the tape drive is still kind of a fun retro-toy. I actually use it for occasional backup duties, just for the heck of it.

    Anyway, many kudos on a great site. [​IMG] I may have been motivated to get my license even earlier if I had known about QRZ before 2005.

    WTF were you thinking?

    "Hey.....check out this tape I got from the FCC........."

    "That's nice Fred.  And from that you'll start up the international standard for amateur radio forums?"

    "Well, ya."

    "That's funny, Fred"
