What some folks forget is when you wanted a technical question answered there
was no google or yahoo back then to answer however if you posted in the right
Fidonet echo one would usually get a detailed answer and a solution to
problem. The echos were of a high standard, luckily their still some BBS
software specfic echos like that still around. Now you can find almost
everything on Google or Youtube.
