    The congratulations here are not for me but for all the folks who have worked on sunsite/metalab/ibiblio over the past decade and a half including our great contributors — some of whom have been working with us for the whole time.

    And hey, help us plan to celebrate and for the next 15 years at the sunsite/MetaLab/ibiblio 15 Year Wiki

    It’s a long way from the NeXT floptical sneaker net. Thanks for helping out this UUCP bound kid get “the monthly goodies” 20 years ago.
