Status: R A couple of years ago I mailed around to the ex-B geeks at sco, collecting a fairly complete history of the development of the various incarnations of forum software on b. I have some free time now (Deirdre left for Newark this morning :( ) so I will compile all the responses I got into one timeline and send it to you. As for me, I started getting involved in B around winter qtr 1986, and the first people I met were Glenn & Krissy (astroid & lynx) and Wendy (web). Shortly thereafter I met a whole gaggle of people including Joed, Franz, Evanh, Kevinw, Davidv, Davidbe, Brian Barzeele, Cameron, Rich Wesson, etc. These were the folks who formed the B social circle (as far as I knew it) at the time. I didn't meet the previous generation (tanj, stdout, stderr, argc, argv, steve, dorimay, etc) for a little while. It's amazing how many of the people I met during my freshman year are still the people I hang out with the most. -Bk
