I enjoyed looking through the PUG archive, too. The earliest entry of mine I could find was February 2005.
I bought my first Pentax (a Super Program) when our daughter was a year old, in 1989. I found the PDML shortly after, and participated via my CompuServe email. Then there was a hiatus of several years. Mark!'s partner Lisa and I know each other through work for the Children's Oncology Group, and after a meeting (in Hilton Head? Atlanta? Someplace southern) she introduced me to Mark!. He gave me the current PDML info, and I rejoined; I think that was in the late 1990s. I was younger then, too. Happy holidays, one and all.
