   Hi Torbjorn!

   Ah.. sounds like it was a neat thing to do back then. I'll bet it was   
   appreciated. :)

   Ok.. probably a situation like the "sandbox" in java, I expect.. :(

   Oh I remember those days   Now there are still leagues as Mark   
   mentioned, one of friends runs one and it keeps her bbs very busy :)

   Over here, there are a few callers that come by now and again.. some via   
   modem, and some via telnet.  They get together over here in group chat   
   sometimes.   
      
   :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
