   Why ats with this new message editor?   
      
   Here's the problem with BBS's!  I'm typing a mesageh here and its asking me   
   tpo press CTRXL-Z to save, when ZTRL-ZC is the command to background a   
   progeraram.   
   Seriously though, the WEeb was ieasier.  I have wireless at the moment, due   
   to living in a third world city called Melbourne, butand it drops out all   
   the time.  What tha mt means is that if I'm typing a message in a BBS and it   
   drops out, which it does every SECOND message, I lost it, Ie it, I have   
   to re log in again, gro through all the menus etc and type it in again.  With   
   e-mail, I just or usernet, its not matter at all.  Just annoying.   
      
   The Internet though is peer to peer.  What I liked, was that your saccess   
   wasn't determined by a systop or limited.  I can use modern internet   
   technology and ADSL (when I move womerewhere where I can get it) to transfer   
   stuff to people IU  know.  The BBS, great as it was back in the saday is   
   quite aone directional.   
      
   Perhaps for the BBS to survive, it needs to be ccome more peer to peer.  It   
   needs to be able to allow people to log into onto my computer and see the   
   files I've shared.  Maybe a standard could be created where each person can be   
   a host, a peer in a distributed BBS.  So I can
