Hello Everyone,
Once again, I'm going put fingers to keyboard in a somewhat entertaining manner. Or at least, what I hope to be entertaining.
My previous history of SEQ post was written in one sitting in about an hour from by admittedly faulty memory.
I would like to put together a detailed history of EQ as pertains to the rise of SEQ. There are some murky details that may suprise some of you in regards to the origin of SEQ proper... but I would like to hear the history as some of you know (or think you know) it... especially if you were "there" at the beginning.
More importantly, I think, I would like ancedotes, stories and experiences of the users (and of course developers). They can be funny, interesting, sad; it doesn't matter. I can't guarentee any or all of them will be included in the final product, but don't make up or embelish things. If you can provide links to old posts or logs, so much the better.
I plan on this being a lengthy piece for people who are interested, but mostly to satisfy my own sense of history and for a reference document that can be found easily and readily by anyone who might want it.
I'm not sure if it will be fanciful like my previous history or just the facts... probably a mixture of both. I welcome any comments one way or the other.
Please post whatever you got, or want to talk about, or think would be interesting in relation to this here. I will be referring back this thread often :)
