   I mentioned the Java Javastrip difference in a earlier message in this .REP .   
      
   I won't do any research about it right now.   
   I probable have a Ask Leo or Ask Woody or Wikipedia file I saved long about   
   the difference.

   I will take a look at it before I mention it to my friend.   
   If it is a TEXT Game he told me today He isn't interested in the 100 or so   
   TEXT Games on Mikes Capitol City BBS.   
   He doesn't like Text Games.   
      
    AA>>Many BBSes have fine DOOR GAMES. Would that fit the bill?   
      
    EV>He isn't a BBS User.   
      
    AA> Sounds like he has a limited understanding of BBSes.  Games on BBSes   
    AA> are traditional, blocky, ascii, etc.. types.  Some are based on   
    AA> animations, some are   
    AA> text-based like RPG's.  But many are implemented quite nicely.   
      
   Yes, he isn't interested in the Technical part or wanting to become a BBS   
   User, he just wants to play GOOD GAMES On-Line.   
      
   He told me today he plays Pool On-Line and won TWO sessions of Pool of the   
   many he played today.   
   I told him to Email the Link to that Game page so I could look at it.   
      
   Before he got the Chromebook he has used Ubuntu, Win3.1 and Win95, then he   
   got a X-Box system and loved to play Madden Football and a Car Racetrack   
   game called Frouza (?).   
   He has had the X-Box, X-Box360 and a X-Box One and wishes he could play   
   X-Box games on his Chromebook.   
      
    EV>Years ago when This BBS (CCO) could be Dial'd-Up I gave him the   
    EV>phone number of the Prism BBS he could get on using Dial-Up.   
      
    EV>He used it for a while and didn't continue calling it. That may   
    EV>have been because Janis moved away from this area.   
      
    AA> Today, we access BBSes via Telnet.   
      
   I tried Telnet and talked to Mike about my difficulties with it and Mike   
   told me about a web site I could go to that would grab the packet for me   
   and send it to me via FTP.   
      
   I used that method for a long time and then got a BRIGHT IDEA to make my own   
   FTP Script(s) to GET and PUT .QWK Packets to his BBS.   
   I run the Script with a .BAT file from a CMD Prompt.   
      
   Talk about being LAZY, I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
