 * David Gersic got everyone's attention by mumbling this to Peter Karlsson:

 PK> Just curious; When was Bluewave 1.0 released, and how much did it do,
 PK> compared to the current version?

 DG> I started using Blue Wave 1.x in about '83 or '84, as I recall it.

Would you like to try for 1990, David? :-)  That's about the earliest that
Blue Wave could possibly have been written, given what I know about George.

Trivia:  Blue Wave was originally intended to be an Opus mail system -- Opus
was what George was running, and he had developed an (ahem) intense dislike
for how Silver Xpress handled things -- but since Fred Rappuhn was in charge
of coding the door (George wrote the reader), and since Fred was running
Telegard, the TG door got written first.  George had switched to Maximus by
the time a second door was planned, thus the Max door got the honor of being
the second one out the gate.  The rest is history. :-)
