   Hi, Dallas Hinton!   
   I read your message from 11.12.2013 00:35   
      
     ak>> In Russia WinAmp player is a very popular software to play mp3   
     ak>> tracks. Do you know that many Russian fidonet folks (when writing   
     ak>> their messages) use a special plugin which adds a line at the   
     ak>> bottom of a message which says that "now my Winamp plays xxxx.mp3"   
     ak>> It looks cool. If they don't listen to music the last line will be   
     ak>> like this: "np: [silence]... (Winamp is not active)" ;-)   
      
     DH> Yes, there's a few people in North America who do that, but I think   
     DH> the habit has pretty well died out.   
      
       Probably, now people listen to on-line radio. ;) Also, Fidonet    
   clients for tablet gadgets don't support such a feature. IMHO, most    
   people who write to Fidonet now use such devices. There are a lot of    
   people who spend a lot of time going to their work places. I know many    
   who spend in transport two hours and more (one way only).   
      
   Bye, Dallas!
