Hello Ward,

Only one node active in the Philippines, Eric was around well before I left.

I am still in touch with most of the Ex-sysops and when I go back later in the
year will try to interest some of them. A group of us usually meet up to have
lunch or dinner and catch up when I visit.

We had a very fiendly group of sysops years back and also had a non-profit
group called CyberPhil to fund and share the costs, the benefit to users was
they got a free email service and address first.last@fidonet.ph when the
internet first came out there as ISP costs were quite expensive where as local
phone calls were free.

Cyberphil had around a 100 members who would meet at least once a year to have
a social function, play lan games and raise funds. A few of these people later
on went to have high positions in the IT industry.

Those were the days.
