Hello Nancy, I do think that I caught up to FIDO !

 NB> Yes, I had noticed that once in a while you'd check in, but it was
 NB> getting further and further apart lately.  Maybe juxta is quicker
 NB> because it is closer? 

        Lately, I do not dedicate this much time to FIDO, there is too
   much to do here. When winter gets back upon us, it will be
   different.

 NB> the few places that I can really do BW packets in a BW door...  There's
 NB> a few benefits to that from the QWK packets, one notable one being that
 NB> the subject line doesn't get truncated in a trueBlue...
 
        I have never seen a BW door. I read about it on Juxta where is
   points the users to the BWREPFIX, that is all.

 NB> I trust she is recovering well?  Glad to hear that the weather finally
 NB> got nice for you. :)
 
        Her back is back (!) in shape but we are entangled with a
   family party and busy setting it up. There might be upwards of 50
   attendees.

 JP> Hee ! I complained to Microsoft enough about the crunging of
 JP> my three Athlons systems that they are supposed to send me a free
 JP> Vista. I will know for sure when it gets to my mits.

 NB> Hope it comes thru for you.  Nice when they make good.  :)

        I will let you know when I get it,    if ! I wrote back to the
   techie who had said that he would supply that CD and got narry a
   reply from him on the subject. Not holding too much hope.
     
       
... Will be back home this coming Monday.
...    Hoping to see that Vista CD waiting for me.
