Uhm, Mark, I tend to disagree with you-I'm already running ancient hardware
and it runs just fine, thankyouverymuch.  I've no problem running
it-according to most of the computing world, I'm running a dead OS too-and
loving the hell out of it.

BBSing isn't about the latest or greatest.  It's about keeping the spirit
alive of BBSing and from what I see, you don't need the latest and greatest
to run a BBS.

So we'll agree to disagree on that. :)

It's already dead, Mark.  We've all known this for years.  According to
most of my friends, BBSing is a dead hobby that's a waste of time, just
like ham radio is.

Unfortunately for them, I don't give a rat's ass what they think and nor do
any of my users. :)

Later,
Sean
