thought.org had it beginnings in Western Wisconsin in 1986 as a small Public Access Unix site --[it was System V.2 AT&T UNIX]-- connected via a long-distance telephone link in California to the Arpanet. Fewer than 20 people dialed in to my system a day to send mail and read netnews.

Today I run Berkeley Unix over a small local network and serve a few local (and distant) people. Current Web stats show roughly 100K hits/year.

thought.org has always been dedicated to serve the intelligent public---either as a public-access or public-service site. By 2008 I hope to have a message board for people to offer their feedback to news items or express their views on myriad other subjects.

Stay tuned!

Who am I (Gary Kline)? I was born at the end of World War II and wound up being the only severely- and multiply-disabled electrical engineer to have graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, sub-specialty: computer science.
After many years of being a computer geek, I was laid off following the 9/11 attacks. Because of age and other factors, when I realized that finding another programming job was virtually NULL (and being too young to "retire"), I decided to go back to school. My latest geek target is philosophy--Ethics. ... We'll see.
