    NB> and, if I understand pointing correctly, I'd have to set up as a point   
    NB> from more than one source to have my backups in place.   
      
    DC> As do nodes!  It really isn't all that different.     
       
   Thanks, but I think I'll stay with the magic spells I'm familiar with,   
   at least for now...  Besides, bbses need users, too.   
      
    NB>> I don't mind the log-on experience, I like the different flavors of   
    NB>> the different boards, on most of the boards I frequent I can check to   
    NB>> see who else has been on that day, and I do play a couple of word and   
      
    DC> I sorta lost that as the only local node that also had FIDO    
    DC> went down.     
      
   In my case, the last local node I was using went to telnet only... so I   
   had to scramble to get telnet capabilities... which then gave me access   
   to any other telnetable bbses... so now my BBSing is all over the   
   place...   :)   
      
    DC> I'm not that much into offline games, let alone online games.     
       
   Actually, I'm not either...  It's an occasional tension-reliever   
   offline, and then generally mahjongg or some sort of solitaire.  There   
   were a few others I used to play, back when I was just getting used to   
   computers (I think hubby's idea in getting me to try them was to get me   
   more used to arrow keys, CTRL, ESC, etc, that weren't normal typewriter   
   keys) but some of them didn't work when we went to a faster computer,   
   and the others I just didn't have time for, usually.   
      
   As for online, the only ones I really got hooked on were Scrabble and   
   King of the Board...  I like things that help exercise the mind... :)   
      
    DC> One in a while I'll play bridge.     
      
   Now that's one I've never learned... most card games, in fact...
