Does FidoNet still live? I remember the great USENET

1990s, and see claims of 38000 nodes in May '95. I notice ftp.fido.org no
longer exists.
To the very best of my knowledge, yes. There is supposed to be a gateway (at
least to region 21, or was it 19?) at fidonet.pp.se, for example. I still
haven't tried it out, since Usenet is quite a heavy load along with this
multitude of mailing lists.

But a graphical client/server model that slices the interface down some
arbitrary middle is like Solomon following through with his child-sharing
strategy. The legs, heart, and left eye end up on the server, the arms and
lungs go to the client, the head is left rolling around on the floor, and
blood spurts everywhere.
