   Hi there..   
      
   I monitor this conference in case anything shows up, have for around 30 years   
   on various BBS suppliers over that time. Mike Powell in Kentucky kindly came   
   to my rescue when I lost my access quite a while back and, since he supports   
   it through eMail packets, it's been super convenient so  I've never looked   
   for another supplier since. Thank you Mike!   
      
   I live in Ontario, Canada, just North of Parry Sound, my home actually within   
   the UNESCO Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve, which comprises the world's largest   
   freshwater archipelago, known locally as 'The Thirty Thousand Islands'..   
      
   Since I was 32 (1986) I've lived in a ratty cottage up here with only Cold   
   running water (none in winter)  although, other than over a 13 year period   
   early on, I usually find a slightly more hospitable place to stay through the   
   worst of the winter these days.  In Canada.. Florida for 3 winters way back,   
   '86 to '89, but not outside of Canada since.   
      
   I was married for a while but no kids, and what woman would put up with my   
   lifestyle now?, although a few have 'threatened'..     B)   
      
   I haven't worked for anyone else since 1986, instead doing various things to   
   make a living on my own over the years such as computer programming and   
   repair, property management and investments, Day Trading for a while (I sold 2   
   houses when I left the city of Brampton near Toronto) and I've managed to pay   
   the bills without working too many hours and on my own schedule ever since.   
      
   Not the warmest place in Canada up here, but it's been an unusally warm winter   
   so far this year with less snow than usual..
