I did not realize he had also passed.               I couldn't remember the name of his BBS (Tequila Mockingbirg BBS), but       I had lunch with a local BBS Sysop (he picked up the tab as       thanks)...and he told me the name of the BBS. I knew Bill had ran       SportNet, but not sure what other networks he headed up offhand.               I gave him an old laptop that quit working on me. So, he formatted the       hard drive, and is going to put another OS on it. He got the laptop       (which I had gotten used at a ham radio festival (hamfest) several years       ago. It had Windows Vista Basic on it. He got the laptop, power supply,       and I threw in a Microsoft USB 2.4 Ghz wireless mouse, a mouse pad, and       an external DVD USB drive. I'm going to get him a US Robotics 56K v.92       Extrenal Fax Modem to him another day. I don't have a dial-up line, and       VoIP lines (i.e. MagicJack) don't work well with modems, but the analog       phone lines are all but gone now...as are the dial-up BBS's.               I bought a new Lenovo Laptop with Windows 10 64-bit on it, and can put       some stuff on it that won't work on my Windows 10 32-bit systems.              Daryl                      * OLX 1.53 * The Thunderbolt BBS, Little Rock, AR tbolt.synchro.net       --- SBBSecho 3.09-Win32        * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - tbolt.synchro.net (1:19/33)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 18/200 19/33 50 103/705 106/324 124/5014 5016       SEEN-BY: 124/5018 154/10 203/0 221/0 227/114 229/200 354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 5555 292/854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 387/21 396/45 423/120 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 2452/250 31999/99       PATH: 19/33 396/45 280/464 229/426           |
