   Hey Sean!   
      
    SD> I'm a little biased towards MBSE   
      
   So I've noticed.   
      
    SD> OS/2 has shown its age   
      
   It just barely made it into the 21st century before IBM sold it, according to   
   Wikipedia 15 years ago.  The last version I tried was more than 20 years ago   
   in 1996-ish.  There was problems booting it on a 2G drive on a 486 at the time   
   due to bios issues so that machine went pure Linux.   
      
    SD> While I do miss some things about Max/2 and OS/2   
      
   I think that might have been the ultimate BBS.   
      
    SD> the benefits outweigh the negatives for running under Linux.   
      
   Agreed.  However I haven't actually ran a BBS since making the switch other   
   than a brief flirt with Maximus via dosemu.  Due to dosemu issues as well as   
   the lack of callers it never stood much of a chance.   
      
    SD> we need to document where we've been and hopefully that will help   
    SD> us where we're going   
      
   pktheader.  It seems to me that the 2+ version never did get properly   
   documented despite it being the defacto standard since roughly 2000-ish.  As   
   for where Fidonet is going it seems to have been stuck for a number of decades   
   now.   
      
   Life is good,
