I am essentially an 'outsider'. But I have used this NG since oh, 1992
or so. It's just I don't have the time to post frequently. Frequent
posting is often the key to an NG.

Nige. telling fibs

This group didn't exist in 1992.
Ask Rowland when it formed - he was here then,
It was late nineties.

Really? Erm .. I was at Liverpool. It must have been 1995-1999.

It wasn't here when I left for the states in 96, and it was when I got
back in 98. Just proof that something other than diana dying and labour
getting in happened in that time.

Google Groups says the first post was 23-Jun-1988

It was entitled Oh Frabjous Day!
from Rowland.
The first technical discussion finished with someone recommending
GraphicConverter

Doomed from the start!
