      AH> Heheheh, Mystic is the best thing out there right now, and here's why:       AH>        AH> -- Setting up FTNs is the easiest process I've seen on any software.       AH> Nothing extra is needed to get up and running or to host a net.       AH> -- The built-in full screen editor is the best in the game       AH> --Reading/scanning/replying to messages is the best in the game.       AH> -- Everything can be customized, and it's not hard to do       AH> -- Nice lightweight program, runs great on Raspberry Pi.       AH> -- And much much more....       AH>        AH> I have to commend you James for making FTNs so trivial to setup. No more       AH> of that mailer/tosser dance... my messages arrive, my TIC files arrive,       AH> my nodelists compile automatically. It's perfect!              Agreed...               I will say this. I have been a sysop since the early 1980s. Started on the       Apple //c running Apple-Net 2.4 back then. Ever since I went PC back in       around 1986, I have been running WWIV. Nothing else. Never even tested       anything else.              That being said, I have tested and toyed around with Mystic. I have never       even touched another BBS platform in all that time.               Not saying I would ever ditch WWIV, but I have without a doubt thought about       running a second BBS under Mystic for fun.              - Mark              --- WWIVToss v.1.51         * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0)    |
