So, as it's Monday, time for another #iyp entry. For today, my Internet Yellow Pages (1994) requires Proof Of Cat; the only entry vaguely relevant is the Cat Talk Network with a telnet address. Of course long gone, and the domain points to 'Michigans largest Media Marketing Company), who took it over in 1995. So have a real #proofofcat instead...

#iyp. The first entry must of course be #terrypratchett :gnutp:. The amentioned ftp-server is no more (I reckon we'll see a lot of that). Archive.org has a 3.4 GB dump though, which contains textfiles (46k, what a ratio) with four posts from #alt.fan.pratchett: constellations (suggestions for star constellation names), cripple-mr-onion (the rules), hedgehog (the song) and poll (popularity poll). Is that all there was? I can't find more...

#introductions I am Patrick, afp-oldfart and admin of mendeddrum.org. I like #travel, #traintravel, #cooking, #oldcomputers and #history. I'll try to combine the last two by exploring an entry of my 1994 Internet Yellow Pages (#iyp from now, follow the hashtag!) every Monday around noon CET. The IYP - though old - claims that 'This unique directory - unmatched in scope and organization - shows you how to access thousands of free internet resources from all over the world'. OK. We'll see.
