Not just my view. It's the stated policy of Fido.

But, you see, Fido is not a democracy. More like a satrapy.

Well, if you have no backbone then you are, by definition, spineless.

When I was a kid there were few computers in the world - certainly none
smaller than the size of the house I lived in.

"Where a calculator like the ENIAC today is equipped with 18,000
vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only
1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps weigh only 1 1/2 tons."

My first Commode Door confuser was a PET - as seen in the movie 2001 A
Space Odyssey. Then a CBM 4032 followed by an 8032 and then down the
slippery slope to a C=64 and on to the A-2000.

At least you've got an an Amiga - which is more than some of the whiners in
here can say with any shred of veracity.
