   Hello All.   
      
    Before HTTP, WWW, JAVA, FlashPlayer, Google, or any of the internet stuff   
      people take for granted now, BBSes were moving people's messages and   
      files.   We still do WITHOUT the spam.   We do it without the glitz.   
       And - we do it WITHOUT invading YOUR system with JUNK and MALWARE.   
        We are real people at the keyboards -- not autoresponder robots!   
           Call us when you can't stand the internet junk any more!
