RE: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Was: .....Paperwork, Now: Helen

I used to save my BBS stuff on 5 1/2" floppies when they were one sided and first came out. I still have more than a hundred packed away somewhere, don't know why, and still have one desktop my wife uses with the 5 1/2" drive still working, next to the DVD recorder. Before the floppy we used cassette tapes for awhile and before that it was magnetic cores that were hand woven, bit by bit into planes of 1 K memory, if you could afford it. And back then we had no idea what silicone would become and how useful it would be. Amazing stuff.  LOL Its a good new years memory.

Ok e-mail included :).
But you have to admit that Telnet or ftp aren't exactly everyday usage for most people. My e-mail is all web based with smtp client on my end. I can check it anywhere I have web access, save it in different web accessible folders, mark it for later read archive it right on the web. All happening in http and markup language from my side. Pretty nifty.
