On March 15, 1991, at 19:42:11 CST, SCREEN-L's first message went winging out into the ether. Since then, several thousand messages have been shared, a (very) few flames have been fanned, and many new cyber-pals have been made. In these four years we've seen the Internet transform from a cloistered hang-out for computer-literate academics into the 1990's hottest buzzword, and we've watched our membership grow from a constant of around 300 to 755 (last I checked) hard-riding cultural scholars/teachers/students. We've adapted to new technologies by gatewaying SCREEN-L to Usenet (bit.listserv.screen-l), providing the SCREEN-L archives through Gopher (ua1vm.ua.edu), and constructing a brand new World Wide Web site: SCREENsite (http://www.sa.ua.edu/tcf/welcome.htm). And our operating software (LISTSERV) has been improved, too, so that, for example, users may now receive a daily INDEX of the messages posted here (instead of each and every message that's posted). Thanks, SCREEN-Litarians, for your support and participation during the past 48 months! Now if only I can figure a way to get those dang error messages out of my mailbox... ---------- Median wage for a man with a master's US$47,260 Median wage for a woman with a master's US$35,081 Median wage for a man w/a high school diploma US$26,766 Meidan wage for a woman w/a high school diploma US$18,648 ---------- | Jeremy Butler - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [log in to unmask] | | SCREEN-L Coordinator | | Telecommunication & Film Dept * The University of Alabama * Tuscaloosa |
