Replying to a message of Amy Williamson to ALLEN PRUNTY:

 AW> -> Just wanted to let you know you aren't alone out there.  I am

 AW> AP->>Nice to meet you Amy!

 AW> Thanks for the welcome.  I'm from the state of Washington.  I just got 
 AW> out an old computer and spent about a week getting my software (qwk 
 AW> reader) to work.  I never learned telnetting, so that took awhile. 
 AW> I'm  so dissappointed in fido dying down.  What a tragic loss.

Fido will probably be around at least as long as we will.  A few nodes are being
added every now and then.  You can get packets from several sources, sometimes
as email attachments.  For something over a year my system sent such packets to
several people - I shut it down for a year or so when I moved from Nebraska to
here, and I no longer have Internet access at home (too far out in the boonies).

It's really too bad your hubby/significant other isn't named 'Rich.'  Then you
could be richandamy{at}... (reference is to the cartoon strip 'Zits').
