[MM-MALTS-L] List Administrator Query

[Paul Dejong]

Hey Peter, and everybody else...
Yes I agree with the majority of the old warhorses on here: Let it remain
the parent of all...even if it is rarely used.
It is still a very valuable knowledge-base  to me, and even if we do not
post so often, that does not mean it is forgotten.
I still would rather ask a question that I have here, then anywhere
else...thing is, not as many questions arise these days anymore. A direct
consequence of the enthousiasm and knowledge once instilled with the help of
this list! Let it live and prosper!

To Peter,
I am pretty sure the 105 was around before 1993...If memory serves me (a bit
less then it used to!)  I first bought one in 1991...and I guess they were
available from the mid-eighties onwards...
Luc Timmermans 'mr. Glenfarclas' may know the exact period of introduction
better, Luc??
