Hellas List

      

 

Kostas Piperis, Pantelis Tzortzakis and Ntinos Antonopoulos are the three responsible for the existance of Hellas list. Pantelis Tzortzakis who was Kostas roomate at NY became System Administrator at GREARN. Grearn had a VM mainframe hooked on BITNET. It was located in Heraklion city at the island of Crete (the biggest Greek island). Hellas list was borned in summer 1988.
 

Ntinos was the first person that sent me Email from Greece at my AU MUSIC (IBM mainframe) account on BITNET early 1988 and soon we became good friends. Hellas list was growing fast and the load was too much for the VM at GREARN. I started a peer of Hellas list at AU first with the help of Jim McIntosh and then to the Brown University with the help of Spyros Mpartzokas and Peter DiCamilo early 1989.

 

I was a happy Hellas list owner from 1989 until 1992. At 1990 Ntinos was very busy with his sailling activities that he had to pass his Hellas list ownership to Giorgos Kavallieratos. I too passed my ownership at summer 1991 to Spyros Liolis who was a very happy and succesful Hellas list owner for many years.

 
Hellas list was and probably still is the biggest Hellenic Electronic Discussion list on Bitnet and Internet. It hosts many discussions and brings many Greeks together from all over the world.
