Ah...proper optical mice! Think I've still got a couple of SPARCstations up the attic. Solaris came in just as VAX got phased out where I worked. Got networked proper in 1994. Category B site. 65,000 routable IP numbers to play with. I miss those days.
bump We've surpassed 19,000 registered members. The caveat for these numbers, they're not accurate long term due to major site changes (which will continue), data purges and updates etc., but given that caveat, the numbers reflect rate of growth, milestones and levels of forum participation. i wonder if recent entries might be reflective of slowed "rate of growth" ? 2025, May 28 Members:19,167 Discussions:51,691 Messages:587,069 2024, Jun 16 Members: 18,008 Discussions: 50,263 Messages: 570,081 2023, Oct 23 Members: 17,002 Discussions: 49,070 Messages: 556,022 2023, Mar. 7 Members: 16,081 Discussions: 47,633 Messages: 539,027 2022, Aug. 10 Members: 15,167 Discussions: 46,290 Messages: 522,645 2021, Dec. 23 Members: 14,019 Discussions: 44,896 Messages: 505,735 *A reset: #s after housekeeping data purge ( -2500 members: w/no posts, w/no visits in 5 yrs) 2021, Oct. 11 Members: *13,705 (-2500 purged) Discussions: 44,469 Messages: 499,386 2021, Sep. 26 Members: 16,262 Discussions: 44,359 Messages: 497,795 2021, Feb. 28 Members: 15,100 Discussions: 43,092 Messages: 480,706 2020, Oct. 17 Members: 14,268 Discussions: 42,233 Messages: 469,018 2020, Mar. 19 Members: 13,073 Discussions: 40,787 Messages: 448,764 2019, Jul. 19 Members: 12,031 Discussions: 39,47 Messages: 429,652 2019, Jan 6 Members: 11,080 Discussions: 38,189 Messages: 414,177 2018, May 17 Members: 10,021 Discussions: 36,649 Messages: 391,522 2017, Aug 23 Members: 9,000 Discussions: 34,920 Messages: 367,891 2017, Jan 17 Members: 8,000 Discussions: 33,512 Messages: 351,051 2016, Feb 3 Members: 5,999 Discussions: 31,216 Messages: 321,407 2015, Jul 11 (CCSv4 launch) Members: 4,748
