------------------
Otmar,
Three + cheers for a job well done. LLTI is one of the most useful lists for lab directors and educators. My appreciation to all who have contributed to keeping the tradition going for a decade. Lets aim high and go for a 'golden anniversary'
Regards,
pat Miller

It was on this day exactly ten years ago that I sent an email message to David Avery here at Dartmouth College asking him to set up a listserv mechanism to be called LLTI. We started on a mainframe CMS machine and have now graduated to a small dual-processor Pentium box that handles about 40 lists that have their home here at Dartmouth College

A large majority of members comes from the ".edu" domain (more than 55%), followed by subscribers from the ".net" domain, followed by subscribers from the ".ca" (Canada) domain. Subscribers from ".org,", ".com," and ".mil" make up about about 7%. The remaining subscribers come from 36 countries and make up about 30 percent of membership. Some subscribers still have bitnet addresses that I cannot clearly identify without investing a large amount of time.

Our sponsors - Dartmouth College, IALL (The International Association for Language Learning Technology), and the Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning - have been generous in providing time, funds, and technology over the last ten years.
