        Yeah, on my board it's listed _60s_70s_ROCK_. I don't 
        even like the title "progressive rock" because of the 
        potential confusion. I'd like to see it as _PROGROCK_, 
        which is after all the topic.

        Maybe, maybe not. We're still here.

        Yeah, a lot of pay BBS services thought they could make 
        more money in the ISP business, though that's left a lot 
        of BBS services stronger, since they stress the Fido and 
        the files. The thing will be Internet access to Fido 
        packets, as long as it doesn't just turn into a junior 
        Usenet.

        That's putting it mildly..... ;-) 
 
                                Cheers,
