   Then there is a chance of a future.  Without that there isn't.

   Yep.  How's the weather?

   Some of mine is that.  Also do some transfers but that has declined over the   
   years.  ftp is the most mission critical app here and has been since long   
   before here was here.   
      
    NB> And my primary BBS sends me my QWK packets via email...   
      
   That sounds to be a better idea then the old fashioned method for transfers   
   especially considering that email is a mission critical app to your system.    
   Using a 'must have' app as a base for other apps reduces the overall bloat to   
   the system.  Good to hear that others can appreciate that mode of thinking and   
   are willing to do something with it.   
      
    NB> I understand there are still ways of tracking them down...   
      
   Yes but the numbers that can be tracked down are declining.   
      
    NB> ... BBS?  Yeah, I do bbs.  But I can control it ...   
      
   Amen.   
      
   Life is good,
