Actually see more people talking about running BBS's & such than       I do with ODIN/Win32S.               SD> DL> crossed with QT5 coming...many of these limitations will disappear &        SD> DL> make it as usable as any linux distro out there with the apps        SD> DL> available.        SD> For me, until Arca becomes 64-bit and multi-user, it's still "crippled"        SD> for my personal everyday use. You can fudge multi-user by slapping on        SD> Security/2 but the 32-bit you can't work around.              That's a nice dream & would be fantastic...but don't see either MS or IBM       playing nice for those of us who would run this.                SD> I love computers and electronics, especially my beloved amateur radio,        SD> but I also like to get outside too so cars came naturally to me. These        SD> days, I'm looking at getting into fishing as a side hobby since I'm        SD> evidently in fishing country out here.              Many years ago...bought the worst car I ever owned...67 VW Fastback. The       money/time I spent on that was amazing...but I wanted a VW. When I got       married...the wife/I looked at a Type 2 which needed brakes...but did run for       $500. More recently...started looking again & found that time is a very cruel       mistress with most of the AC Type I-IV's have rusted away to nothing in       fields & such. Even with the money...I have no where to do the work...while       getting TG/2 running...don't have the same limitations.              ACME BBS-Member of fsxNet/WWIVNet/SciNet/AmigaNet/VKRadio/FidoNet/MicroNet.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/04/21 (Windows/32)        * Origin: ACME BBS-W.Coyote & D.Brown are our best users.
