Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.       --- MultiMail/XT v0.52        * Origin: http://realitycheckbbs.org | tomorrow's retro tech (1:218/700)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 114/705 120/340 123/120 131 226/30 227/114 702       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 452 664 1016 240/5832 249/206 317 400 292/854       SEEN-BY: 298/25 305/3 317/3 322/757 342/200       PATH: 218/700 261/38 250/1 8 317/3 229/426           |
