I'm posting this now lest I forget to mention it when the actual date
rolls around, but for the handful of you still out there reading this
group, this newsgroup will have been around 20 years come May 10th.

J. Storrs Hall sent out the first post on that day 20 years ago:


And are nanotech assemblers still 20 years away ?

Welcome to the nanotechnology newsgroup. This message is largely a test
of the slightly arcane software we have set up to handle the postings.

sci.nanotech is for the discussion of molecular technology. As Herbert
Hoover might have said, "De novo enzyme design is just around the
corner." At first, I'll take "Engines of Creation" as a
definition-by-example of the subject matter considered appropriate for
the group. This will expand or contract dynamically depending on volume
and quality of postings.

Because the moderator tables take a while to update all over the net,
don't post any messages to this group for a couple of days--they will
just bounce if your nearest backbone site isn't updated yet. You can
mail postings to nanot...@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This will always work,
and will eventually be what happens when you post from news.

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for the list, and also Mel
Pleasant, who set it up for me.
