    1. [VAGEN-L] VAGenWeb History
    2. JoLee Spears
    3. The subject "history" coming up prompted my searching my old floppies to see when I came on board as the initial cc of Charlotte and Mecklenburg. I thought it would be fun to find my earliest emails to read those back and forth with Linda Lewis trying to explain HTML to me. Then a little later of MY trying to explain HTML to Gayle Austin, cc of Pittsylvania. Found the Eudora backup disk, but it was blank! I kept flipping through the disks for whatever I could find. I couldn't believe I found I had captured on 6-27-96 the VAGenWeb home page. Only 19 of the Virginia counties had volunteers, and captured at the bottom is "My Page Counter says you are visitor #0097 since June 15, 1996." It is a miracle I even knew how to capture the page. I was not new to computer, but I was very green at the internet and HTML. Thought I would share this piece of history (on a snowy day In Raleigh, NC the first real snow here in a few years).
