  I've been on BBS's over the years (most long gone now), where the
Sysop apparently had no idea how to run his software, or to assist
someone with help. One didn't even know what an autoexec.bat or a
config.sys was (this was obviously before Windows NT and XP).

  Even though I'm taking a break from the doorgames on my BBS this
month, I still logon at least once a day to check mail, and update
weather data.
