... and drinks. We hope you enjoy this small L-Soft slideshow of the past 25 years.

In his early teens in Paris, Eric Thomas spends his weekends programming an IBM 370 mainframe.

Finding computers that the general public is allowed to use is no easy task.

Eric finds a computer – and fame, proving that IBM mainframe defenses aren't impenetrable after all.

At university, Eric is determined to find a solution for the slow, manual, @#$#%! email lists of the time.

On this very IBM 3279-3 terminal, on June 23rd, 1986, LISTSERV is born.

Filing cabinet? No, the university mainframe computer on which the first version of LISTSERV runs.

In the early years, "Just send mail to LISTSERV" is sometimes understood a bit too literally.

As universities begin to abandon mainframes, Eric founds L-Soft to further develop and port LISTSERV.
