Yes, Google Groups works very well. I also use it at work.

Cool! I'll try Maxxx's solution first since I don't want to move everyone and start all over.
Thanks!

Two questions on Google Groups.
1. How's the analytics? Does it tell you who unsubscribed, when or why they did, and how often people click on your links or open your emails? MailChimp does.
2. Can you create subgroups in each group? Sometimes I only need to email a certain section of the group and I'd like to be able to have different sub-groups in my mailing-list. MailChimp allows that too.
Thanks!

No analytics AFAIK. You get notifications when someone unsubscribes or requests a subscription (if your group is open to the public). No indication of who read a post, only a count of the number of views.
No ability to create subscriber groups. Note, Google Groups is a conferencing tool, and not just a mailing list (although you can abuse it as one).

I didn't think so, but I haven't tried it for more than a day to know for sure.
Thanks!

She had a much longer name than Tim Berners-Lee

She probably paid for everything in cash.

I'm not so sure...
Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee, OM, KBE, FRS, FREng, FRSA, DFBCS
and didn't Lady Anne play a part in "Open All Hours"?

Some facts...
1980
He worked at CERN where he proposed a project to share hypertext based documents.
He build a prototype system called ENQUIRE[^]
1989
Upon returning to CERN he found the larges TCP based network - called Internet!!! He picked up the idea of hypertext share and saw an opportunity to combine it with the the Internet - the result he called World Wide Web
In the case of WWW Tim worked only on the first proposal alone, all the other proposals was created by some group called W3C.
Since then...
Tim is the director of W3C and for that he know a lot about the current state (and all the changes it went thru) of the WWW, he also full of ideas on how to make it better...
It is a common mistake to set Tim as the 'father' of the Internet and/or the WWW. He never claimed it - he always was fond of group work and combined efforts...

TBL wrote the spec for the World Wide Web. He never claimed the Internet was his invention, it is people misusing the names and treating the two as interchangeable.
The Internet is the network.
WWW uses the Internet.
Simples, even a Frenchie could understand.

One of my university friends, lucky lad, had his third year work placement at CERN.
In the final year at university he showed me what he had been working on at CERN, which was basically the precursor to the world wide web.
Guess what he had to show me?
Yes, pictures of prawn.

Didn't he use a NeXT workstation[^] for much of his early work on the web?
That's gotta annoy the Microsoft zealots around here...

I was reading an article in the paper last night through gritted teeth that once again credited Tim Berners-Lee which pretty much inventing the whole internet, almost as though a deity brought it together in a instant of creation for the good of all mankind.
When I did my degree 20+ years ago, there were no web-browsers but the internet was there. We generally used FTP to access remote resources. SGML also existed, and so did Gopher. So really I see the web as nothing more than a slight evolution bringing together these things into an admittedly very accessible format.
Apple didn't invent the smartphone, it was the people who invented low power processors and brilliant batteries. Tim Berners-Lee didn't invent the internet we have today, I attribute it more to the *really* clever engineers who did the seemingly impossible by inventing ADSL and by connecting everyone to it.
And the 'this is for everyone' quote has two clear different meanings. The first conjures up Tim with his hands wide open atop a mountain declaring his gift to the world. The other as an answer to the question who might use it, perhaps in the CERN canteen. "This if for everyone [to use], including the filthy public."
And that's where it all went wrong.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

I envisage the multitudes surrounding the mountain with hands wide open and a central finger raised.
The further away you get in time the more myopic the view so don't expect it to get better!
