Commode Odor?              My 5.25s are long goine -- I got a bunch of 3.5s ariond here just collecting        dust only because my wife hasbn;t noticed them yet!              My main jokes & puns collection is on my IBM(true blue) DOS 486, that I need        help connecting back up (c/w a new 21" CRT for SVGA graphics)              I'd love to get them off, but physically, I'm unable to -- but I'm building       up a nice collection now -- more focused on memes than text, but lots of       both, actially!              For joke returns I think of one oozy I used to have & Google it u p handily        enough. (some times it pulls up my own first use of it in the FUNNY echo back        in the '90s!)              I've spent 4 decades in Fidonet now!
