[Husker] don't fall for it

[George Rapp]

Lynette, I think I'm the last of the Class of 1991 who's still around ...
8^)

Mike posted on the Usenet rec.sport.football.college group about the
existence of the Husker List, and I was intrigued and signed up, somewhere
in the first dozen subscribers.  (Mike, if I remember correctly, the list
ran off of a mail server at UN-L, and was mirrored to the internal
unl.sports newsgroup.)  I was working in the R&D lab at Electronic Data
Systems in Dallas at the time, so we had e-mail and Usenet a few years
before it was widely available commercially.

Can't claim continuous membership, though, because I changed jobs within EDS
in 1993 and lost access for a few months.  I bought a $3500 Gateway 2000
33MHz 486 PC (with a blazingly fast 9600 baud modem), signed up for dial-up
(text-only) Internet access for a mere $50/month (!), and re-established my
List membership in '93 or '94.

Ah, memories.  8^)

Mike, please accept my quasi-annual thanks for keeping the List going all
these years.  It's been cited in at least one book (Huskerville, Roger Aden,
http://www.amazon.com/Huskerville-Story-Nebraska-Football-Power/dp/0786432063),
many Husker-related magazines, and too many blogs and Web sites (including
Corn Nation, started by List member Jon Johnston ... 8^) to mention.

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring
one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their
own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the
mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of
good government... - Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address
