22 December 1995
This project started taking shape in June '95. After being on the
"real" internet for four 4 years, I just could not do without
my school account during the summer. So, I stooped to linking up through
AOL (!?! GASP !!?!) While I have a lot of problems with how commercial
providers handle things (which, thankfully, I won't go into), I also
found that AOL is a Star Wars mecca. After seeing all of the artwork,
and discussions going on there, I figured I would attempt to add my
own $.02 to the internet. My original plan consisted of puting together
a zipped Word Perfect document which included art which I had seen in
the AOL archives. Well, needless to say, it sort of blew up. Before I
knew it, I had a 10M Works for Windows file, and I still wasn't finished.
I sure couldn't spend the time it would take to upload a 10M file, and
no one in his right mind would download a 10M file from a commercial
provider like AOL, because the cost would be astronomical. So, the whole
project got shelved.
Then, my school got WWW homepages for the students...and the rest is
history. Thanks for taking the time to look through Beyond Hyperspace.
Again, please email me your comments.
