Well, both files and messages. I don't know if this is going ’ūto be a double 
reply or not yet as I was on one of the Atari boards a little while ago and 
spent a lot of time in some of the other echos before I got to this one. I 
had almost finished my reply when I ran out of time so I'm not sure if it got 
saved. This board (an IBM board) also carries a LOT of fido and internet 
echos and although I haven't seen this particular echo on the list, 
apparently I got the mail here. I like this particulr board (Noah's Kitchen) 
because they offer just abouit all the previously mentioned newsgroups and 
echos as well as online magazines and games (although, like I said, I don't 
play them). They have available IBM files for windows and O/S 2 although I 
don't use either yet, it's nice to know it's there when I eventually get 
around to running windows. There are also DOS files and other text files as 
well. I was getting sort of windy in my other reply so I'll not do that here 
but rather wait and see if that one made it and avoid repeating myself at net 
expense. I should also point out that while I don't object to paying for 
services, I am not in a position to do so right now but rather, take 
advantage of the free time that these folks offer. I try to upload things to 
places that I download from and when I can afford it, will subscribe to at 
least a couple of the local boards althiough making a decision about which 
one will be difficult as they all have a lot to offer. This one is high on 
the list because of the previously mentioned reasons. Others offer dialogues 
not on the nets (or at rather, different from the same general topics on the 
nets) as well as local support for my various interests.  Anyway, I don't 
want to run out of time here as well... so for now, Cya!
... Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with your fist!
