That's what I also remember (from the cs1x-list).

>> You might be right. FWIW, it might've been late 1996/early 1997, or even mid 1997 at the latest. The CS1x was released in summer 1996, and I joined the cs1x-list at teklab.com shortly thereafter. The music-bar at teklab.com mailing list was announced sometime within the first year of my joining the cs1x-list, and I joined the day it was announced. Too bad I don't still have the original welcome email. :(

>> FWIW, here's an (abbreviated) email from the main man himself (Jay Vaughan, founder of TekLab, AMPFEA, SLN, and all these lists that's dated June 16, 2001, that dates the original formation of Teklab and the first couple emailing lists as of June 16, 1995.

>> This is a long email, but an important one.  If you're interested in the future of teklab.com, a service you've used or may otherwise be familiar with, then please take some time to read this email.

>> I've just decided that June 16th is teklab.com's 'official' birthday.
>> 
>> Today is also the day that I've decided to put teklab.com, as you know it, to rest.
>> 
>> And, it is a day for me to reveal some plans I've been making that affect all of us.
>> ************************************************************************************
>> 
>> Per my email archives I first turned on teklab.com on 06/16/95.

>> (Side note: I'm ignoring the NetSol 'create date' record, because it's wrong.  I went to Japan in '96, and teklab.com was up and running before I left, so I dunno what's up with NetSol.  They probably got the day/month of registration right, though, because I'd registered it a few weeks before I began using it...)
>> 
>> 6 years ago, the humble little server for teklab.com was set up in a frigid computer room in Glendale, CA.  It had 3 physical changes of location (and a couple hardware upgrades) before the two of us finally settled here in my office in Los Feliz, where we've been for the last 4 years.
>> 
>> I'll never forget the day that I set up the box, did a little editing, typed 'kill -HUP `pidof named`' and watched the 'torpor', 'dosed', and 'jay' mailboxes receive their first '@teklab.com' mail. Once that was all working, I started inviting friends to put the machine to use.
>> 
>> Since then, a lot has happened.
>> 
>> It's been a thoroughly wonderful experience - a few ups, a few downs, but for the most part I will always consider the effort to keep teklab.com up and running one of the most important things I've done in my life so far - I've met some amazing people, I've heard some fantastic music, and I've personally learned a *lot*.
>> 
>> I also believe, along the way, I may have taught a few people some things too.
>> 
>> I feel that one of the most important qualities that I've observed as 'overseer of teklab.com', in what appears to be boundless supply, has been other people - electronic artists from around the world - helping each other out by way of the teklab.com services, and I also believe this is probably one of the most special things I've experienced as I've bounced around this world of ours.
