*'''My first page'''<br/>[[Rock Opera Context]] was the very first page I created for the Wiki. Don't think for a moment that I did the whole thing myself — it was a HUGE group effort. But I was the one who set up the page, created the link to the email [[rock opera]], established the general format, and got the ball rolling on filling in the words. As the page was shaping up, I helped fix things here and there whenever necessary. One of my favorite things about the page is that as you read each line, you can remember and enjoy the essence of all the emails in the space of only a minute. | *'''My first page'''<br/>[[Rock Opera Context]] was the very first page I created for the Wiki.

I made sure to do at least one from all three computer eras, and I think I did ''all'' the Tandys. I also did the special cases in [[the bird]], [[weird dream]], [[anything]], and [[other days]]. |
