    You need not fret. I still have the floppies for them all, BW, ZOC
    and TSE Jr. If ever the DOS beetle bites me again, I could get them
    out and set them up. I still have the letter from George Hatchew,
    dated March 27,1995, signed by his brother Scott, with the
    registration numbers. I am a pack-rat !

    Ok, I sha'n't fret. (packrats unite! <G>)

    Nancy, good BW morning to you.

    Not really a good BW morning as yesterday, I deleted all my BW files, along
    with Jr reader. Times are resolved !

    And time marches on. I was not using these fine servants anymore and they were
    taking a little bit of space on my HD, zapped with a tear in my eye.

    I will never forget Nancy and Richard. Distance was inexistent thanks to the
    Web.

    Have a very Merry Christmas, both.

    I'm actually using Blue Wave under Linux now; haven't found anything else that works as well.

    I believe you Sean. I had been on TSE Jr. and BW for at least up to 18 years
    and it worked very fine for me, a learner. It gave me access to all the high tech quality of other users on BBS. The BBS going the way of the Dodo, turned the tide for me.

    TTY on Thunderbird.

    If you ever change your mind, and decide that you miss them too much
    after all, I'll still have the .zip file for BW... :) I can sort of understand zapping something not being used... but I don't think that
    that will come for me... unless there are no more messages anywhere to
    be read in my BW reader.

    And a merry Christmas to you as well, mon ami. :)

    I dunno-the Internet is older than BBSing. <G> BBSing will remain a niche hobby (I still get plenty of new users on my BBS) that is enjoyed by those who remember and those who want to carry it on.
