   I like being able to use a BBS to learn how these Computers do what they do   
   and how to use them to get things done that interest Me.   
      
   Also read messages about other things I'm interested in, such as Ham Radio,   
      
   I can't recommend BBS's to anyone still going to Public Schools because some   
   people write foul words in their messages.   
      
   There is a lot of very good information in BBS Echo Conferences.   
   I save many messages to refer to later.   
   I edit some messages after I saved them, to make them G Rated.   
      
   If I ran a BBS it would lose most of the Users because I would check messages   
   written by my Users and Edit out any foul words before they left my BBS.
