PQ> I liked the idea of Fidonet when it was a text-based message network.

I have a retro Fidonet setup here; I download QWK packets and read them in
DOSBOX using MultiMail for DOS, using QEDIT or VDE as an editor. In full
screen.

I don't have the ability to copy and past to/from DOSBOX, so reading my BBS
messages is single-task/single-focus, just like the old days. I like the lack
of multi-tasking and the lack of elements outside of the BBS networks.
