-=> Quoting PETER COGGON to NANCY BACKUS on 28 Jan 09  16:08:00 <=-

 PC> Hello Nancy ....
 PC> I do believe I have texted to you before, as I do recognize
 PC> the name from somewhere....

I'm also over in MEMORIES and in COOKING.... ;)  And I'm sure I've
jumped in on some conversation or other with you at least one of those
places... :)

 NB>> Not that there's much of a fray here, anyway... ;)

 PC> So long, as there is activity....
 
Activity is a very good thing... 

 NB>> While I do miss the plethora of local bbs's I used to be able to
 NB>> dialup to, telnet has, to some extent, merely broadened the
 NB>> neighborhood.  Bluewave works just like it always did, to facilitate
 NB>> messaging offline... :)  The bbs I'm answering from right now is
 NB>> actually local to me, and was one of my original dial-up homes years
 NB>> ago... :) 
 NB>> Internet webside bbs'ing, though, I've not gotten into... or much
 NB>> internet stuff at all... 

 PC> Same here ...but ...well no BBSes here at the lake ....
 
But don't you have telnet available to you?  Until this bbs came back up
after a few years hiatus, I was mostly using either one in Rhode Island
or one in Florida... as well as one in Virginia (now in Texas)...  At
one point I was even using one in Great Britain... 

 NB> And how far north is Lake Simcoe?  (I'm just down the road a piece
 NB> from Robert... in Rochester NY)
 
 PC> We are 86km or 50 plus miles north of the city of Toronto.

Ah, ok.  :)  I know that Ontario is a rather large province, so didn't
want to assume you were fairly close by... ;)  As it is, we're
practically neighbors... at least as the crow flies...
