There are many of us who were looked at as gods because we were the keepers of the newsfeed at work and could grant enlightenment to people with home PC's by slipping them a feed without the management knowing. My wife first ran across me while attempting to weasel a feed out of Concurrent Computer to her home BBS and 3b2/300. Them was the good old days. 2400 baud news feeds, contents, no spam. Them bits travelled up hill to the news spool both ways at 2400 baud, son. And we didn't have none of those graphic screens. We used rn and B-news like you was supposed to. 8-) Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Pechter | 17 Meredith Drive Tinton Falls, NJ 07724 | 908-389-3592 pechter@lakewood.com | Save computing history, give an old geek old hardware.
