Once upon a time ampfea was Teklab - also sponsored by Jay Vaughn - the original 
sponsor of AN1x-list along with the Music Bar and a-list (for A3000 user's). In late '99 
their server(s) were experiencing chronic fail overs which led to service interruptions to 
AN1x-list. After one such event AN1x-list was not recovered promptly and some 
enthusiasts restarted the list at eGroups and it wasn't long before many of us migrated 
over and solicited other ex-list members to rejoin the new list. eGroups was eventually 
bought/sold by Yahoo! who - at the time - provided a competing service in the form of 
Yahoo! Clubs where some other ex-list members had started the AN1x User Forum. Since 
a core group of us were moderating/participating on both we opted to combine the 
resources of both into AN1x-list and archive the Forum for the existing members (back in 
'02).

As the half dozen or so individual AN1x web sites eventually shut down, much of the 
content (Voices, Tips, etc.) was moved onto the AN1x page I'd started (most of us had 
begun to network by that point) and from there it was moved onto this list following the 
shutdown of my page. ASRXCITE was brought online at Geocities at the same time, but 
that's a whole other story ;-) So, for the most part this list IS the original Teklab list PLUS 
all the independent resources developed by some really great contributors! And for the 
past couple of years we've welcomed many more AN200 user's into the fold and that 
seems to be working out for everybody.

At some point (I'm uncertain of the exact time) ampfea sprung from the ashes of Teklab 
and seems to be flourishing these days. The patch data base you found seemed to be 
popular with the a-list for awhile, but AN1x-list had established itself by that point and 
has been focal point for AN1x user contributions ever since. Ampfea has a very active 
Access Virus list (I think Jay Vaughn works for them now?) and the Music Bar and a-list are 
still there - I think there's an ION list too.
