Wishing everyone a better 2017 than 2016, although I acknowledge that
the bar may have been set rather low.

The bar has been set low, but the stage has now been set for worse,
so let's hope for a 2017 that is at least no worse than 2016!

I still check in here from time to time. Lots of people have migrated
to Facebook, but it's not the same.

I'm glad to see that you're still doing well, Gordon. I wish a great
new year for you and your family.

Thanks, Gordon. As a result I am now facebook friends with both your
daughters. It's not the same, but will have to do until you get your

'Fraid it is - I'm still here, after (counts) 21 years come next month -
good grief! Tempus fugit.

Me too. Not sure for how long though since the article search from
DejaNews, etc. became the veritable horror that is Google Groups. I seem
to have been posting here on 1st March 1995 about the coming CamBoink.

Various computer-related things make me feel old these days. When they
started here our sysadmin at work hadn't even heard of "finger" for
fingering people.

I've been around for about the same time. It's sad that it's
practically gone.

I've just been through some of the old posts and noted some of the former members we've sadly lost.

How the H did we lose Toby though? He was only a young fella...

[Stuart O. Bronstein]

He was, and that was some time ago. He has a serious condition - I
think it was diabetes. When I spent time with him he was so cheerful
in spite of his challenges. That was a sad day when we lost him.

It was that Camboink that resulted in me moving to Cambridge. In 1996
my job was clearly coming to an end and what was left was likely to be
relocated to Basingstoke. I told my boss that if I had to relocate then
I could think of much better places to go than Basingstoke and then had
a think about places I'd been that I liked. Cambridge was one of them,
I emailed someone I knew and a week later I had a job offer there.

Clearly I need to check in here more often. Yes, Toby was a member of
his local council at the time he died. I think he had kidney problems.

I only met Toby at Manboink, and he had a nut allergy I believe.
The waitress at Yang Sing went to great trouble to extract the nuts from
one of the banquet dishes, and I remember Simon "talking him round" the
Museum of Science & Industry so that he didn't miss anything.
Toby's bright personality made light of his disability and drew
affection from his companions.

Ha, sounds great, glad that one worked out. Cambridge does have some
nice features. Of course I moved /from/ Cambridge in 1996 ... then back,
then away again. It's nice when job stuff works out though. Now I'm
living in Tayside there aren't as many tech jobs nearby, of course I am
also older, so I'm much hoping my current software job in Dundee remains
viable at least while my children are still attending high school in
Perth.
