**************************************************************
In 1989, Fred Kemp began the MegaByte University Listserv, a
list that served to introduce so many of us to so much of the
world of computers and writing, and to give us a sense of
connectedness and community even when few of our local
colleagues shared our interests. We found our first long-
distance collaborators. We got valuable assistance and support
for our individual struggles to bring computers into our
classrooms and to get our students on-line. We exchanged
technical information and teaching techniques and theories
and philosophies and even little bits of each other's personal
and professional lives.
Perhaps the clearest sign of the success of MBU is the fact
that the community seems to have outgrown the list, with
other forums--many of which grew in part out of conversations
and collaborations begun on MBU--gradually taking over to
answer the ever more diverse and specialized needs of the
computers and writing community. All good things serve well,
and then, eventually, are replaced by that which they helped
to inspire.
Fred has determined that the time has come to end the MBU list,
We know it's time to move on, but let's pause for a little
reflection and a bit of nostalgia; let's say thanks to Fred and
give MBU a proper sendoff. Come to the Tuesday Cafe this week,
and bring your stories about what being a member of the MBU
community has meant for you.
See you at the Cafe!
