I found the list via Alta Vista or Yahoo (IIRC Alta Vista was either
part of Yahoo or they had an agreement). It was in mid-late 96 I
think (less than a year after moving to Houston).<br>
<br>
I'm pretty sure Merlin was gone by the time I joined the list
because I remember reading ABOUT him.<br>
<br>
I remember when Mike joined the list. He stirred things up at first
because he blew up some of the "common knowledge."<br>

LOL, I sent that to Lawrence. Just Lawrence. I think I've
forgotten how to use a mailing list.

I bought my NX2000 on October 9, 1996. Still under warranty! I
had one of the a-pillars replaced free.

<div>I think I found the SE-R List in 1997. Might have been
1998. I remember the first person I asked for help was
Merlin.</div>

</div>
<div>Amazingly, I didn't go to my first SE-R Convention until
this year.</div>

<div>It was a blast. Especially going to Denny's after 3 AM,
with Mark S., Hank and Ostlund. You meet the nicest people
that time of night...</div>
