Well, Most of the club members have non-Atari modems... Why stick to only
Atari when there is an alternative that will do a better job of letting us

be an Atari to host Atari discussions.
In any case, it's kind of a moot point as ABACUS now supports Mac and PC
users. We decided that the true value in the club was the members. We
knew each other, and enjoy our company, and don't want to lose that just
because some have moved on to another platform. So now we do everything.
Something to think about as an alternative to letting a good club die out.

ABACUS (the
Atari Bay Area Computer Users Society) still runs it's BBS on
an Atari 1040ST. (Though, to keep this off-topic, we're thinking of moving
to a linux box.)
A travesty !! Or do you mean minix. The Toronto Atari Federation
still uses FoRem on a TT. (still sucks) (The sys-op will get me for
that ! )

Well TAF's BBS is still fairly active tho members at meetings is
down I tend to also see a lot of non-doze user groups
possibly uniting based on their interest in older machines,
much like this list is. A lot closer to the old hacker spirit than
the "armed and hostile" platform camps with a slowly dwindling
membership.
