This week in history...
« on: July 26, 2000, 11:30:00 AM »
A year ago this past Sunday was the day we announced AH, opened our website and message board, and gave a September date for open beta.  Just imagine where we'll be in another year.

If I said in an arena that contained naval ops, large scale multi-frame scenarios, supply and supply interdiction, air-sea rescue and an assortment of perked "what if" planes, would I be close?

Wow, congrats guys.

It's amazing what you folks have accomplished, particularly with such a small group of folks.  (6 I think.)

Cheers HTC.

Congrats!

I remember the 1st couple of hours in the beta... firing at a couple of 'green' planes because those green planes were shooting at me  . We finally got the whole Rook, Bish, Knight thing down.

Where will you guys be in a year? Just look how far you've *come* in a year! I couldn't even begin to speculate. Thanks for the ride HTC, I've enjoyed every minute of it.

"Just imagine where we'll be in another year"

 What a great tag line. Anchored in reality which is in styark contrast with the wishful hopes and dreams of what might come, someday, for someone and if they believe enough  

  To be honest, this is half the reason for my enthusiam with AH. The other half is enjoying what we currently have as well as being customers to the superb company you six folks are who make up HTC have become.
 I can't imagine what will be coming between now and July of 2001 but I for one am excited.

And just think, within that 1  year time, without drinking any alcohol, and basically living a clean life, your brain has degenerated and lost approximately 5,326,388 brain cells!

I don't know what that has to do with the price of tea in China, but thought I would mention it!

Congrats!

Thank you all, HTC.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
