   Any SPITFIRE's left?

   MM> $85 for a copy is a bit high to get new blood into the software.   
      
   What? There were actually SysOps running Spitfire without the "Caution:   
   Unauthorized Copy" messages showing for years? ;-)   
      
   I recently found a backup of my old board from the summer of 1994. Though I   
   don't think it qualifies as "still running SPITFIRE," a version of v3.4 *has*   
   been going in a DosBox window as I've been going through it.   
      
   I'm ashamed to say that the reason I even have this backup is because it was   
   right before I switched to Wildcat! :-( There were just so many things I was   
   hoping Spitfire would support in the future that were obviously never going to   
   happen that I went with Wildcat! based on its promises for 4.0 over Mike's   
   promises for 3.5.   
      
   Though I never had any complaints with WC4, and in fact *loved* running it, I   
   *always* felt bad about abandoning the SF crowd. But, I guess you can only go   
   so long without a Full-Screen Editor. ;-)
