  I'll fire it up eventually, but I find I learn more about a system
if I muddle around for a few weeks in the system itself. The usual
problem is that the guys who write the manuals are experts, and they
write it for other experts (who don't need a manual anyway). It takes
rare genius to write a manual so a dickhead like me can follow it.

  I've noticed that many of these internet programs are for OS/2. It
strikes me as rather weird. I'd have thought Windows would dominate,
even for sysops running a BBS.

  Filenames won't help if there's nothing there on the spcug. rofl!
Most software seems to be set up for slip-ppp accounts. UUCP is a bit
of an orphan... so Paul makes it his first choice! I think there's a
clue to Paul's mentality in there somewhere.
