     Well, you would have seen the stats someone posted in one of the sysop
echos - BBS numbers are certainly on the fall.

     Well, I picked up a 686 the other day, so I'll be spending time on
thar and I guess progressively less on my 2000 (sold a 1200 recently).

     The BBS is still running, but I don't know for how much longer.

     So many people have left the platform and most of those that have
strayed have an interent account and don't want to support the BBS anymore.
:(
