   Hello Jeff,   
      
   I totally understand where your coming from, I like you started with version 3   
   and moved onwards from there with a 15+ year from before the end of last year.   
      
   Wildcat has always been a commerical BBS software and was always at the top of   
   BSS software but as you know the internet changed everything.   
      
   I am glad Jim Harrer had the forsight to sell Wildcat to Santronics or else it   
   would also be gone. I am very sure all the Santronics commerical customers are   
   glad as well.   
      
   It's down to choice, pay for Wildcat or go another direction.   
      
   The good thing is you are still around and enjoy being a sysop. I guess for   
   you the challenge is run and configure a few BBS softwares.   
      
   16+ years ago I ago I had over 1000+ callers on 2.5 nodes, I was living in the   
   Philippines at the time and made a lot of life long friends, most being sysops   
   but also callers as we wouild have a couple of events every year.   
      
   That's the part I miss most, but luckily we still have a good bunch of sysops   
   left in Fidonet who love this hobby.
