No way to "monetize" Fido. It's non-commercial and will likely stay that
way. If they'd like to join in to the "old school" social medium - then,
my all means invite them. All they will need is a computer and internet
access. I'm not sure if anyone is running a "dial-up" bbs these days. And
I'm pretty sure you can't BBS on your phone.   Bv)=

Shifting gears - Saturday night I worked late and when I got home I
pulled a "Michelena's Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken & Broccoli" single 
serve meal from the freezer and nuked it. Following the package 
directions I found the chicken bits dry and *very* chewy and couldn't 
find the broccoli at all. If you see it in the store -save you $$$.

... I'm not sure what makes pepperoni so good - the pepper or the oni.
