Hey,
Speaking of "oldtimers" and stuff, isn't it hard to believe that
the Ytsejam precedes the explosion of the World Wide Web? It wasn't
really until around 1994 that the WWW really started to take off. Before
that we pointed people to ftp or archie sites (at best) but mostly we
traded tapes via USmail. The original Mosaic web browser was maybe a
year or two old when the first Ytsejam digest came out and AOL was just
moving onto Windows 3.11.
These days it's so much easier and faster to point people to new
music -- I love how the WWW and computers in general (anyone have a
DVD burner yet?) have revolutionized how we access our music (not to
mention Napster). We can log onto Bernd's web site in Germany and order
Superior's CD without thinking twice.
And the Ytsejam community has lived and evolved through it all.
What do you think is coming next?
Steve
