Mika Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Well, this is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing! Weird to think that 23 years ago, newbies to the net were expounding on the same things we are today.... But with better font and graphics styles! :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernDayWarrior Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I remember the NMS digest. I used to subscribe to it all the time. I learned a lot of great Rush info from it. Cant believe how long ago that was already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Ahhh the good ole days!I remember my first online account.. Prodigy.net... it was impossible to get to the TNMS list... I tried for ages to figure out how to get to syrinx.umd.edu ... a URL I will NEVER forget! Thanks to Jimmy, Meg and David for all their dedication back in the day!!

LedRush Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I don't think I knew the Internet existed until '94, and I still barely understood it for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 That was a blast from the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingdirk Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Great stuff...I found one posting on there (do you think I can remember which one?) that discussed the juggler image from Hold Your Fire. Apparently, there were several graphical references to albums of the past on the cover, but you had to look really hard to find them. Guess what I'm doing when I get home!

ModernDayWarrior Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It seems like the digests only go up to '93 on the archives. I know they went on for much longer than that. I remember starting to post on there when Alex's Victor project was coming out. I remember saving alot of them on floppy discs. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 This is great insight to fans' views on the boys back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Wow...I remember getting stuff like that....I think I have a 3.5 disc somewhere in a box that has a bunch of Yes and Crimson stuff like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Wow, I used to post on TNMS back in the mid 90s. I joined it in either 95 or 96 and stayed with it until whenever it ended. I wonder if I can find any of my old posting's on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coventry Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I think it ended in '97 or so after trickling away to an issue every week or fortnight or so. The moderator, a women at College Park, MD (I forget her name - Laura?) both moved on and realized that digests like these were also going away. I was a steady poster there for a few years.

Rutlefan Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I don't think I knew the Internet existed until '94, and I still barely understood it for a couple of years. Al Gore sent me an advanced copy in the early/mid '80's. It wasn't quite ready for wide release as he was still tweaking it, and having to personnaly correct some of the protocols that some MIT/NSA people bungled. Eventually Al fixed everything right up and the rest is history. Edited June 25, 2013 by Rutlefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I noticed that even back in '90 they called grace under pressure p/g. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrospective Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It's funny to see them wonder if there's going to be another album after Presto. Try 6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coventry Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Or, after T4E, rumoring that the band was going to put out one last album called "All Good Things..." and call it a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analog guy Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) These are a fascinating read. Apparently, everyone thought "Roll the Bones" was actually going to be called "Rolling the Bones", and there were some rather creative interpretations of that title. "From what I remember, rolling bones is a method of divining the future used in many voodoo and Rastafarian religions." "Rolling bones is/was a method of predicting the future by Asian(big ?) priests/shamans." Interesting that a couple of people correctly predicted it would have an instrumental track on it.
