Echo...echo...echo...

[Ryan P.]

And I'm not talking about FidoNet echos!

Just curious to see if any of you folks still have the old Amiga even
set up in a corner of a dusty basement, or if she's all boxed up, or it
it was tossed years ago.

I still have my BBS software sitting on my HP's hard drive...
Transferred it over years ago when I was running under WinUAE. Anyone
else unable to get of so many years of work and creativity, even though
we know we'll probably never really use it again?

Yup, I still have my BBS setup bundled up on this computer, transferred
from the machine that was running the BBS for a couple months running
WinUAE before giving it up again. I just can never see myself getting
rid of it because of all the time and effort I once spent on it.

I see exactly what you mean. And the plastic yellows and the bitterness
too :/

Sometimes I'm almost tempted to get a used Amiga somewhere for old
time's sake, but then I realize that there's nothing that I can't do on
Amiga Forever, only much faster. And using less electricity. :)

It's kind've sad that a community of thousands of BBS' is reduced to 5
or 6 former sysops checking a newsgroup every 6 months or so!

Yup... going back and looking at all the old BBS listing and remembering
the huge phonebook I had in my Terminal program, and they are all gone...

That's all I've got to say, guys...
