Hi! Holger,

I did see one running during a visit to another sysop's home, back in the
late-90s.  He was running a hub of sorts on his Amiga system, feeding
echomail to a number of Fidonet systems in Maryborough & Hervey Bay. 
(That's where I got the boot pic from.)  After a nasty break-up with his
fiancee, he trashed the computer system, sold the house, and, moved away to
Brisbane.  He went psycho and I never heard from him again, only stories of
him from a user/mate.

:)  Well, we're suffering the usual "cusp" that springtime in the
southern latitudes brings.  H-o-double-t days and comfortably-cool nights,
still under the covers.  The rain is thankfully holding off, though the
emergency services (firies) aren't so thankful; summertime could turn into
a bushfire nightmare.

Cheers,
Paul.
