As long as Mikey continues to give me the 118 archive disks, I can continue, if you wish, changing the sequence, and thus, simplify your program. Thanks for the stuff 119 the other night. Also, it appears my 1.5meg memory board was also responsible for the lock-ups. I took the board out 120 and have not had any problems since.

Where are the twit boards when you need them? 457 It would seem to me that BW has been deteriorating for some time. 458 Is it perhaps a sign of the times? Maybe the intellegent users have 459 grown tired of this form of communication and desire something more. 460 Or perhaps they have evoled into a higher life form. Or maybe it is 461 just that BW has been taken over by lower life forms? Life was so 462 much simpler when it cost at least $1000-$2000 to even get into this 463 stuff. Such is life I guess. But I do miss being able to log onto BW 464 and not have to sift through most of a disk of immature mindless drivel 465 just to catch a glimps of an entry by an author I enjoy seeing. 466 But to those users who complain such as I, I do have a message. It is 467 a saying that comes from the amature radio folks. Use it or lose it. 468 If you don't write, others will use the system for themselves. 469 There is a contining pressure out there for the resource of systems 470 like BW. If you want to see the quality of BW improve, there is only 471 one way, and that is for YOU to improve it. No one else is going to. 472 Instead of lurking write something. Just a line or two. It doesn't take 473 anymore time then to not do anything, and it is a start. I will try, 474 will you? 475 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fred +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 476 FRED - AMATURE IS SPELLED AMATEUR. 477 478 - A HAM 479 480 XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX 481 Go home; my emotions tell me, go home. But I cannot. There 482 is no home to go to. It is not that the bridge is burned, only 483 that what I once called home no longer is. My past is the past, 484 I cannot make things what they once were. 485 I've traveled the new paths, the side roads and cow trails. 486 I've fought through the brambles and bushes, underbrush choking 487 the forests. It is hard and tedious. It is work. But the 488 beauty, the wonder of the freedom, the knowledge that others have 489 not tread this way, seeing things others cannot because they are 490 unwilling to travel thus. These are the things I remember. The 491 dirt and grime, the cuts and bruises, the torn clothing, all of 492 this is nothing when compared to the grandure of what I 493 experience. 494 But the time has come when I cannot continue go in the 495 direction I have been going. My traveling companion wishes to 496 take the high road, and I wish the low. We cannot find a middle 497 ground, so we must part ways. I leave him the food, and I take 498 my tools. 499 A convient road is come across, and I use it as the 500 oportunity to leave. It makes my traveling easy for a while. 501 But, I quickly find the way hard. The hard unyealing surface 502 soon leaves me sore and irritated. The scenery is monotonous. 503 The dark black ribbon always ahead of me. The gentleman that 504 offered me a ride is gruff and an angered soul. The fumes and 505 noise insult my senses. I will get out at the next chance, as I 506 would rather travel alone then be subjected thus. 507 Each passing trail calls out invitingly as we pass it. Yes, 508 I will be leaving on my own again soon. To revel in the gentle 509 sounds of the forests and glades. To hear the happy sound of 510 birds calling. To feel the cool brisk rushing water of a 511 mountain stream. To lay in the comfortig arms of a lush green 512 meadow and watch the playful clouds chase each other across the 513 clear blue sky. I miss the magnificence of the rainbow after a 514 spring shower. The sharp crisp clean air. Yes, I'll be moving 515 on my own again soon. 516 XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX 517 518 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?/ 519 Delta V: Contact me asap, proposed meeting of minds is not possible. 520 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?/MiG 521 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppplurkingppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp 522 I HAVE SEEEN THEE ENDLESS CASES 523 OF TATTERED AND TORN AND DEAD SHOELACES 524 THE SHOES ALL CRY IN ENDLESS PAIN 525 AND THEY SEND A BLOOD-RED RAIN 526 I AM THE KEEPER OF SOLES 527 NOBODY UNDERSTANDS MY GOALS! 528 THE BOOOTS ARE DEAD 529 THIS MUCH IS TRUE 530 THE ONE I COME FOR 531 IT IS YOU 532 YOU HAVE KILLED 533 MANY SHOES 534 AND I HAVE WILLED 535 MYSELF TO YOU 536 THERE IS BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS! 537 AND PAAIN I FEEL 538 YOUR SOLES WILL ROT 539 IN THE PITS OF HEEL!!!!! !! 540 ALTHOUGH YOU ARE ALIVE TODAY 541 YOUR LACES WILL SOON FRAY 542 AND ALL YOUR FOLLOWERS WILL FALL ASTRAY 543 AND I WILL RULE`THE DAY!!! 544 *** KEEPER OF SOLES PART II OF ** 545 NOTHING IMPORTANT 546 THAT'S FUNNY! 547 IT IS? 548 YAAH! 549 550 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` 551 ARRON:CALL NORTH KEEP ASAP(YOU WRER GOING TO CALL 4 DAYS AGO 552 ) 553 SANDY:????WHERE ARE YOU ???? 554 555 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` 556 557 558 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 559 560 Tarn's voice has been absent for some time.... 561 562 1040 1009 583 21 78 957 145 172 323 778 104 457 589 502 331 1011 782 965 35 563 694 801 292 576 1002 825 483 364 785 436 107 365 115 553 110 1015 298 579 276 564 538 1026 74 445 721 119 357 1032 589 298 1032 115 903 332 824 101 389 540 105 565 643 442 326 754 392 280 1 184 307 215 1003 248 370 55 30 881 254 470 901 566 142 245 212 926 117 935 412 978 783 163 1007 365 69 846 994 829 289 597 360 567 721 98 741 494 96 533 34 818 434 447 579 199 941 925 163 297 655 359 570 568 84 847 63 496 329 297 937 1032 493 566 111 47 861 538 936 848 570 377 757 569 111 642 411 925 694 693 519 310 269 349 635 210 794 502 966 975 424 101 242 570 823 40 87 957 434 583 957 238 514 364 571 572 ....questions ?.... 573 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 574 575 576 Geez!!
