 DC> Well, we could send you paper copies...  ;)

 SC> That is funny because someone did that for me when I was hospitalized
 SC> for a month about 10 years ago. She printed out probably 500 pages of
 SC> messages so I could read them and even put my responses on the BBS
 SC> conference, mostly local at the time. One of the nurses thought someone
 SC> brought me work from my job. hehehe Another friend who was my downfall

LOL.  I can just picture it!  :)  The stack of paper, you earnestly
digging into it, the nurse figuring (only partly wrong, as it IS a job
of a sort... )  :)

 SC> in life of introducing me to computers and BBSs brought me a laptop to
 SC> show me the messages that were on his board. I responded to them and he
 SC> uploaded them when he got home. 

Now that's the more efficient way of doing things, to be sure... :)  And
only fair and right that the one that got you hooked in the first place
should do something to assuage the withdrawal symptoms...  

 SC> I also got visits and phone calls from some of the local, even ones I
 SC> never met. I was suppose to go to a BBS party and the ones there called
 SC> me that night and wished me well. BBS people are the greatest!!! :-)

But of course!  :)  In its best form, it's a community.   :)
