Hi Dan,

   That would be nice but I have my doubts.  There were once over
150 BBSs here in Austin.  Now we are down to one.

       Old Timer's Poem

      A computer was something on TV
      From a science fiction show of note.
      A window was something you hated to clean....
      And ram was the cousin of a goat.....

      Meg was the name of a girl
      And gig was a job for the nights
      Now they all mean different things
      And that really mega bytes

      An application was for employment
      A program was a TV show
      A cursor used profanity
      A keyboard was a piano

      Memory was something that you lost with age
      A CD was a bank account
      And if you had a 3-inch floppy
      You hoped nobody found out

      Compress was something you did to the garbage
      Not something you did to a file
      And if you unzipped anything in public
      You'd be in jail for a while

      Log on was adding wood to the fire
      Hard drive was a long trip on the road
      A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
      And a backup happened to your commode

      Cut you did with a pocket knife
      Paste you did with glue
      A web was a spider's home
      And a virus was the flu

      I guess I'll stick to my pen and paper
      And the memory in my head
      I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
      But when it happens they wish they were dead!


    Later, 
      Charles
