Wow!

How cool to see what SynthZone used to look like! I was just a lurker back then. I read Chris Hansen's Arranger Forum all the time, but I never posted. It all comes back to you when you see it again.

Happy Birthday to SynthZone and Nigel and here's to 10 more years, at least!

Tom G.

Here is the final Arranger Keyboard Forum page at http://web.archive.org/web/20010302083851/www.synthzone.com/msg/hansen/hanseneold.html There are many familiar names back then. It takes a long time to load this page so be patient.

It only took a second to load for me. And I see a lot of familiar names there. Some of us even still have the same email address! Imagine that!

And now you know why I changed BBS systems at that time. It became tooooooo painful waiting.

But the best way to view these messages is to right click on the postings and open in a new window. That avoids having to keep reloading the main page. Then shut the posting window and open another. Very quick not having to wait for the main page to reload each time.

I remember the www hitting hard back in 93 and 94. When I graduated from highschool, our school had (1) yes count that (one) computer that was set up for that usage. It has changed a lot since then too, and yes the prices were CRAZY then. Severs charged by minute, hour, and any way they could to get that dough. Companies like AOL made sooooo much money back then. It really started to change when companies like Net Zero came into the light Funny thing here..., I was looking at an old car magazine from the late 80's and boy did that take me a step back.. There was an ad for cell phones. Holy crap I forgot how expensive those things used to be. The phones alone were selling for $400, and even some in the $600's. That was back when companies charged you like $3.00 a minute! Yikes. Plus the phones were so big. I remember my father's first cell phone. It looked like a military field radio

When I was in high school, calculators hadn't been invented, except adding machines. In typing class, we had manual typewriters until my senior year when we go ONE electric.
Eight-track tape players hadn't come out yet either.

Dave was an Uncle way back then already.

I wonder what keyboard he used in 1994?

And I wonder how many he's has since....

Well actually if you look down the page you can see when Dave Boyd actually became Uncle Dave within a few postings. I guess life online is an evolutionary process. Give it another 10 years and it maybe Grandpa Dave
