    Mo> Well I used to run a board and got pretty good at Baja. JavaScript went   
    Mo> right over my head. I wonª€™t run another board again, especially   
    Mo> synchronet. I would ask a question and get ripped a new one. People   
    Mo> would be mean to me and always, always, said read the documentation.   
    Mo> lol, I read the documentation.  I probably read it more than most,   
    Mo> spent days and nights. Sometimes the documentation went over my head   
    Mo> and when I would ask. Certain sysops would rip in to me. They are still   
    Mo> around actually. The only two that were nice to me was rob and night

    Mo> It turned me off from the whole scene and I have been away since 2013.

    Mo> Besides, I donª€™t have a pc anymore lol. Canª€™t afford one and I also   
    Mo> grown to hate windows or anything made by Microsoft. Yeah I could use   
    Mo> Linux or Mac, but Iª€™m not buying anymore or building anymore   
    Mo> computers. Too much trouble. The last pc I built had a bad gpu. I send   
    Mo> that thing back probably ten times and got the same results, screen   
    Mo> artifacts. All I have now is game consoles and an iPad.   
      
   Okay, so with all that..... why are you in here asking about which BBS    
   software is "best", when you don't intend to run one and don't even own    
   a computer?   
      
   I hereby dub you "The Hundred-Thousandaire"...  ;-)
