So good to hear you had it the same .... yes it was a blast.

Our events were astronomy and our equipment came via better then
good sources, and were topnotch, and 2 better then great locations
close to home, in the area.  We had Sailboat races, and sail training
thanks in part to the sources made available by users of the BBS.

Never have.   Just trying to get them to telnet, and QWKmail and hear
the excuses is enough.  Even now, was the computer here is to be
upgraded, I loose my telnet and programs, because they 
do not want them in the computer....so ??????  :(

Yep full agreement there Nick.

PS:  I think Boston is going to do 4 straight with Montreal.
     That was an impressive win last night.
