I was predicting that the milestone of 100.000 hits will be made before end of January 2000. I am glad that at least this time I was right. The 100.000 hits came on January 28:th year 2000 and you can believe me that here was one happy guy.

So, 100.000 hits done but that milestone is just good as it is. I am working with tube industry every day and I think I know now the aspects of the industry well enough for developing TubeNet as you guys wish. So, recently there has been opened a re-designed Marketplace for people searching for tubular things. Soon also the registers will have editing functions so that everyone can change their posting as they wish. No need to mention about the problem of expired email accounts. That will have a special attention in the future.

I think you will see in a near future some nice development here on Tubenet.

See you around.
