People use cars for transport but nearly all people alive today know what a
horse is and will recognise one when they see it. Same - although perhaps
to a lesser extent - goes for Morse code. In sharp contrast to FidoNet. The
vast majority of people using the InterNet today have never even heard of
FidoNet.
