Foreword It twas a brisk night in early September 1997 when that which has become the legacy of hick.org was spawned. After countless hours of "technical" support from someone who I suppose could have been considered technically clueless, hick.org breathed its first tone of life. DTMF to be exact. In fact it was quite an accomplishment to finally get the old dell 386 online with not only a static IP, but a domain that referenced that IP to boot. Granted, when thought of in the small scale of things that little connection isn't much to brag about, but when thought of in light of the current state of hick.org, it's the thing that made it all happen. Pre hick.org The hick.org conglomerate of friends existed quite a few years prior to the creation of hick.org, and as hick.org exists not without those who helped to create it, we've managed to keep a few momentos from times long since past that help us remember the wise ways of our prior selves. Log from January, 1997 (bind=shane,MaTt-_-=skape) September 1997 hick.org successfully brought online using a dell 325i 25mhz 386 box with 16 megs of ram and a 1 gig harddrive. The connection speed was 14.4kbps. The 386 that established this connection has since perished and all attempts to get it back have failed. But fear not, the foresight of the hick.org community has yet to faulter and as such we've maintained in both visual and written forms the first machine proud enough to bear the name: hick.org The ORIGINAL hick.org server (dell 386 25mhz) A website created by shane around the same time November 1998 The first documented hick.org website is created. Even through the long years we've managed to save this website and it has been maintained in the archives below: The ORIGINAL hick.org site Not hick related, but of an era long past -- rolex vs the FBI March 1999 Hick.org is upgraded to a new machine. This time it's an AMD 350mhz with 96 megs of ram and a 4 gig hd. August 1999 The second and long standing hick.org website that was created but never updated. The latin hick.org site June 2002 crazy The final and most current hardware upgrade for hick.org. This time it's an AMD Athlon 1800+ with 512 megs of ram and roughly 55 gigs of storage. November 2002 This site is updated for the first time in years. Click here to see a picture of betty's beautiful rack. August 2003 jethro Another upgrade, this time it's to a 1U dell. No pictures yet, but stay tuned! Sun Oct 7 01:01:02 CDT 2007 hillbilly Reloaded OS Thu Oct 18 23:55:10 CDT 2007 jesco.hick.org comes to life. |
