   Vitus i told you before you dont need to keep still thng on BBS this is old,   
   and keep comming more to dead.    
      
   We are moving to new thing now, also Fidonet need to folow if it will keep   
   alive..   
      
   This is a reply of Lee and i'm total agree with him.   
      
   Hello Rudi,   
      
   RT>This time of year a Mobile device is almost that complete and   
   RTpowerfull, as a PC or a Mac.   
      
   It won't be long until those devices become obsolete.  Think a few years from   
   now when one can have instant communication by wearing a wrist watch like Dick   
   Tracy, only superthin and much lighter.  Or having device(s) embedded in your   
   clothing.  Or "painted" onto your skin.  No more need to be "wired" to   
   anything.   
      
   RT>If you like to move up to newer stuff, there is now AftherShock for   
   RT>Andriod on the marked.   
      
   I am shocked!  Truly shocked!  But will every app be freeware?  For fidonet,   
   such apps should always be free.  That would be a neat way to encourage sysops   
   to invite others to join the fidonet community.   
      
   RT>AftherShock is a powerfull Fidonet application, that can do the same   
   RT>thing as your Fidonet software on your PC/Mac, so dont need anymore   
   RT>a PC/Mac to read, send, reply and poll Fidonet!   
      
   Kewl!  No.  SuperKewl!  And so much more can be done with it!   
      
   RT>AftherShock is not a nntp/web/gatting application, it is a fully   
   RT>Fidonet software application.   
      
   That is why it is not kewl, but superkewl.  :)   
      
   RT>Check out the new AFTHERSHOCK echo on Fidonet or the new Facebook   
   RT>page:   
      
   RT>https://www.facebook.com/groups/600494016680549/   
      
   RT>>Have fun with AftherShock!   
      
   I am still trying to get over the intitial shock ...
