I'm busy cleaning out and storing old archives of email tonight, and ran across something I hadn't seen in a while. While it's HTF related, I'm sure most of us occassionally can look into the "way back" machine with email

Dear Home Theater member,
Please excuse the formatting of this letter.
I am doing a lot of cut & pasting with different font sizes.
Please read this letter very carefully as it has specific instructions regarding posting to our new forum address.
If you take a look at the number of people on our mailing list, you can see how much this forum has grown in the past year. With a mention in this month's IMAGE PREVIEW magazine, we expect to continue growing at a rapid rate.

My how this baby has grown
Oddly, I should still have all the Delphi email stored somewhere from 1996/7.

Chris,
I joined just a few weeks after that second email.
Always wondered how many members there were then....now I know, about 3,000.

Chris,
I don't normally step into this area,
but I happened to stumble across this
post and it brought a smile to my face.
WoW!
I am emailing Parker and showing him this.

Very funny. I have to laugh when I think back then what everyone was talking about on the forum. It would be interesting if somewhere archived are some posts from the early days of the forum. I remember the:
"When will Paramount release movies on dvd?"
"Does anyone think we will ever see Star Wars or Godfather on dvd?"
"If studios back Divx...will regular dvd's survive?"
"First dvd recorders available...for $10,000"
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.

*laugh* see, now I had to open up WinD which I still had archived. Here are a few of the thread topics:
DTS & CAV are why Laserdisc will survive! (27 replies)
Do Cables make any damn difference?
MSBTech's Multichannel Denon Upgrade: anyone done it?
Along with numerous other posts. Man, there are days I really miss something like WinD.

2 reasons we may never see the complete end to Laserdisc players....
1-Star Wars Trilogy unedited.
2-Criterion discs that will never come to dvd.
Bring back John Doe! Or at least resolve the cliff-hanger with a 2hr movie or as an extra on a dvd release.
