About This Web Site

How It All Started

In October 1994, I attended the now defunct U.S. MR2 Club's field event in Napa Valley, California. I had a fabulous time and during the event, I was bitten by the "modification" bug after viewing all the different cars there and this set me off on a quest to find information on how to modify my Mister Two.

About this same time I was playing around with Web servers and HTML programming as part of my work. After learning HTML and setting up a Web server, I soon realized that I could use these tools to organize and catalog all the MR2 information I had been collecting, and at the same time, offering this information to all the great people on the MR2 Interest Mailing List.

Thus, the Toyota MR2 World Wide Web Archive was born!

MR2.COM

After I learned that it was possible to set up virtual Web servers on one machine, I quickly set this up and proceeded to register the MR2.COM domain to our local Victoria MR2 Owners' Club.

The Development Machine

I currently do all my Web page development on my Amiga 3000 system pictured above. A complete copy of the MR2 Web site resides on my Amiga and all changes are made to this copy of the site. The changes are then transfered to the Web server pictured below.

The tools I use for development are:

AWeb II browser
Vim, a VI clone (YES, I use VI! I'm a programmer! :-)
Weblint
Various graphics conversion/editing software (NetPBM)
Anything else that gets the job done

The Server Machine

The www.mr2.com server is currently running under the Netscape Web Server software on Salsgiver Engineering's SGI box.
