     We better not say that too loud...the echoes have ears. :P   
      
   NB> DS> I had to do a fresh install of Windows XP. I tried to fix a

   NB> DS> would not let me use it, because "it hadn't been activated", and I was   
   NB> DS> never given the chance to.   
      
   NB>Not nice.   
      
     Then to add to it, I spent all day Tuesday rebuilding message areas in   
   trying to get a new message network online. I think the problem was at   
   the hub system...but, I discovered I had duplicate deals for several   
   echoes, and I had to go through over 500 areas (the original purpose for   
   BBS's was messages), and remove those. I didn't get a chance to eat   
   until after I finished 3 ham radio nets at mid-evening.   
      
     A nightmare and thirst woke me, so I got up to see if maintenance had   
   run...a batchfile glitch had skipped the echomail and netmail part of   
   it, so I had to do that again. Never a dull moment being a Sysop   
   (sigh!).
