Leaving message # 160,000 in the Model 100 Forum led to some interesting
replies re where we are and how we got here.  In addition to 160000 messages
in about four and one-half years, we have over 3,000 files in the Data
Libraries -- and new developments for these little machines every day!

The temptation to leave #160000 is overwhelming.  So here it is!

So what were you expecting?  A brass ring?

So, how long has the forum been active? Four years? Five years?

I think four. ... In which case, an average of 40,000 messages a year ain't
hay!  Even if five, 32,000 a year....

I don't know... the figures seem impossible.

Ring thru my nose, maybe! <grin>.

Pretty amazing, for an unimposing little computer from Radio Shack of all
places -- and so are the DL's!

Yeah -- about 4.5 years now (since June of '83?).  Long time we been here!

Congratulations on the Mega-Snarf! You'll have to wait for message # 200000 for
a Giga-Snarf. Or is that a Hyper-Giga-Snarf, I'll have to go check the rule
book.

Interesting to note that within a day of each other... the CoCo SIG passes
#150,000 mark... and the M100 Forum goes past #160,000!

Milestones!

Phil,
   Solve for x:

   (x*x+x/x)^(x^x)*x^(x*x^x) = YOUR
                         MESSAGE NUMBER
