   Hallo August,   
      
   AA> I am all FOR enjoying ftn tech on slightly newer machines.  ;)   
      
   I'm also using my modern computers for BBSing, but in general Fido & Co.     
   is a kind of retro technology, I guess.   
      
   AA> Some fidonet echos are even accessible via the Telegram app for   
   AA> all platforms - platforms that did not exist back in the day.   
      
   Yeah, I'm not very happy about that, as Telegram has some kind of "bad     
   smell" (at least) here in Germany because of many right-wing and covidiot     
   chatgroups there.   
   Besides, for me as a "classic" FTN user, the Telegram messages don't "look     
   nice" in terms of formatting, subject etc.   
   But that's just my personal point of view.   
      
   ACN>> There are some people who would like to have some of the   
   ACN>> stuff that you mentioned (I, eg. would be interested in   
   ACN>> the SmartSuite, but preferably in German).

   That depends on the software. Often there is a "english only" version and     
   sometimes the programs are multilingual - but this takes up more space on     
   the hard disk...

   Very nice :) :)

   AA> Maybe it's worth repeating. Apparently fidonet has a cforsale

   I hope it works!   
      
   AA> Taking photos of the stuff is definitely a good idea.   
      
   AA> There is a local shop in town that operates as a donation-based   
   AA> thrift store and helps to raise funds for the local hospice. The   
   AA> shop has a man-cave area that is filled with tools and gear of   
   AA> all kinds. Not sure about computer parts and software.   
      
   It's worth a try, I think.   
      
   Have a nice day!   
      
   Regards,
