Yes and no...... the internet offers a lot. But a BBS can still offer many 
good things as well. We still have AM radio, even with FM, tv, movies, etc. 
We still have regular film even with polaroids, xerox, digitized images,etc. 
My point is only that a bbs still has a niche to fit into. I wish opus was in 
the vanguard pushing those new frontiers/ideas.
fwiw - imho - Happy Holidays!!
