G'morning Kurt,

So true;  by comparison,  the most facile Fidonetters seemed to be 
those who had communications, radio ham or (R)TTY backgrounds - a 
far cry from to-day's newcomers.

Sometimes its hard to remeber that to-day's 20 year-old has no 
experience of life without cellphones, personal computers or 
networks....

I once tried giving some 50 students a CMD script with a desktop 
icon that logged them into a local BBS via a Banana comms 
programme,  but even that failed to hook any of them into Fidonet 
- a real eye-opener.

Miles.
