The remaining subscribers still have bitnet addresses that I cannot clearly identify without investing a large amount of time. I am pleasantly surprised that our international subscriber list has grown so much over the years. I found a printed copy of the original email message asking for the establishment of llti at the Dartmouth Computing Center. We have come a long way. From a simple listserv mechanism running on one of Dartmouth's old CMS machines occupying many square yards in the computing center we have migrated to a small dual processor Pentium tower that works faster, maintains the archive, and runs a search mechanism that has become very useful for all subscribers.
Daily traffic is highest during the fall term and decreases significantly during the summer months.
They can range from looking for unobtainable movies to the latest on DVD technology. I continue to be amazed about our subscribers' cooperation and willingness to share know-how and information, particularly during the fall term, when a piece of information is often essential for maintaining the quality of service in our centers. The listserv can be taken over by another person at any time, since most of the operation is fully automatic.
