We're on the same wavelength yet again.... and I
was thinking just before I
read this:
I did, up until last October, but the callers were few and far between
towards the end. And dialup connecting would sure cost more than I can
afford.
I ran a dialup FidoNet BBS for nearly ten years
I haven't, but I'd certainly start one to get the (or at least *a*) 'net
back to geek-only status... dammit, if ya don't wanna learn the difference
between a hard drive & a modem, you shouldn't be telecommunicating. [[ In
the car world: dammit, if ya don't wanna learn the difference between a
carburetor and a transmission, you shouldn't be rebuilding engines! ]] I will NOT
