For those newbies and almost newbies, here is a look at the forums from 1998:

To John and all the Saints and helpers-you've grown a lot since then.

Very interesting! Thanks for showing this!

And to think I did not even know you existed back then! Looks like I would have learned a lot.

My computer froze with this link also. The only way I could get out was to unplug.

bobo

Even on broadband it took me AGES to get this page downloaded. Things were done differnet in those days! :p
I just clicked on it and left the PC to get on with it. Came back 10 Mins later and it had just finished.
So this requires patience and I don't think dail-up customers will be too happy about it
But I enjoyed the history lesson

Margret, if you liked that page, go to:

wow

...
Impressive!!!! THanks for the tip!

Stan will get real impatient now, because I will spend too much time looking at archived stuff

I liked all the info of what was happening with Harbour Lights and "Where's Bill?"

I am surprised John did not say something by now about the above link to the forum.
It is not to the forum, but to John’s personal Harbour light website called the” Harbour Lights Collectors' Information Center”. The forum did not start until August of 1998 and it was an attachment to the HL website. Several weeks later, it was severed from the HL website because of a conflict of interest with the forum having a secondary market. From that, time the forum has been a separate identity.
