RG>I'll accept your apology only if you promise to never do it again. (at
 RG>least not in the CBM echos).
 
 Ok, I promise! Daddy will you forgive me now? 
 For the record the main thing I use my messy-dos machine for is Comms. I
often use it to upload/dload 64 stuff simply because zmodem on it is much
faster than ymodem etc on my 64. then later on i transfer them across..
 
 RG>Sh*t, you really are serious aren't you !
 RG>Methinks this is another good time to plug my "creation". :-)
.... ...
 RG>Now are you seriously going to tell me that you've never heard of this
 RG>program ? I'm the author :-)
 
 Hey, now occasionally I miss things, and often I'm just plain ignorant of
whats under my nose, BUT I'm not stupid!! I thought everyone in the world
knew you were the author!
 What I meant was, what -else- do you do with your programming ability?
Damn it, how missing one word can make so much difference (:  
 RG>Both of the above, but the crunch came when I lost my job. I didn't
 RG>think I'd be able to afford to maintain the dedicated phone line, and
 RG>of the 150 users I had there was only about 3 of them that even offered
 RG>to help out. I got a bit dishearthened about this 'cos if they couldn't
 RG>be bothered to help themselves then I didn't see why I should either.
 
 Yeah, the dollar sign is usually the crunch with operating a full time
bbs. Funny how most bbs users would rather not ring than pay a measly sum
of money for the bbs..
 
 RG>The most depressing part about it is that I *know* there are a lot of
 RG>CBMers over here with modems but when I pulled the plug on Thistle Dome
 RG>they just dissappeared into the woodwork again.
 
 And you pay STD rates every few days to ring WOW. Well noone could ever
say you aren't dedicated (:
