It's 3 years to the date since that the first semi-successfull
implementation of CTM started sending mediocre precision emails 
to my computer.

It's 2 1/3 year ago that the current model of CTM was first run and 
distributed to a select handfull of testers.

Sometime in the next couple of hours we will see cvs-cur.3000.gz 
be generated.

When I started on CTM, only a few of the freebsd hackers had TCP/IP
connectivity and Jordan paid a fortune for it over in Ireland.

Today everybody and his mother has IP connectivity, but there seem
to be a market for batched and emailed updates still, although 
interest is measurably dwindling.

How's that for a success :-)
