around, Daryl.

After my late brother's suicide 14 months ago, and events
causing a panic attack and a nervous breakdown that landed me
in the psychiatric ward for a week (where they fed us 2000
calories A MEAL (not a day), like WE were the turkeys being
fattened up for Thanksgiving), I had to take a break from the
BBS, due to burnout. But, while getting things set back up is
not difficult, it's tedious.

... A day without sunshine is like night.

Like the land of the midnight sun in winter. <G> I doubt
I could live in an area with 24 hours of daylight or darkness.

You mentioned it in the first post quoted... "pointless... no users." Some
of us are still running, upgrading, and adding things despite this possibly being true.

Considering it is all quoted, I didn't think there was any mystery to what
I meant. ;)

Uh, yes... the point of the messages was that an archive of some bbs things would be useful to those of us who are still running one, even though others think it is pointless because there are no users. There was no implied complaint on my part, or the part of the person I replied to, in regards to running one.

I still don't see the mystery as to what was meant.

and i said you are the one doing it.

it's not hard to run a bbs, though.

Ed,

Welcome back.

Thanks. By the way, I got my Grumpy Number from The Grumpy Net.
They meet Monday through Friday at 8:45am Central Time on the
K9ONA-R Echolink Node, part of the 6 meter Chicago Club (SMCC).

Three consecutive checkins, or five checkins in 30 days, gets
you a grumpy number and a special certificate.

The net was recommended to me by Lloyd, KC5FM, and it's perfect
for an old codger like me (hi hi).

Never have been on the air sinceremoving those unsightly wires running from this room and up the pull-down attic stairway.
Never heard of Grumpy Number(s), thanks for enlightening me.

I was away from BBS usage fer about 2 years when DSL failed.
I use a cellphone account now.

Ed,

Never have been on the air sinceremoving those unsightly wires
running from this room and up the pull-down attic stairway.

I have a LAN cable running from my bedroom to what was my late
parents bedroom, to where the cable modem and router are. I use
the RealVNC program to access it over the LAN...but I have to go
back to unplug things with thunderstorms.

Never heard of Grumpy Number(s), thanks for enlightening me.

They meet Monday through Friday on the K9ONA-R Echolink node,
at 8:45am Central Time. If you check in 3 straight times, or 5
times within 30 days, you get your official Grumpy Number and a
nice certificate.

I was nearly Grumpy this morning when the VGA monitor in here
went tango uniform, turning on and off during the night, ruining
my sleep. Thankfully, I had 2 spare monitors, as one of them did
not work. The replacement monitor was on my late Mom's Windows 10
system, which recently failed. I tried to put Linux Mint Cinammon
on it, but the CPU and motherboard apparently were too old for it.

I was away from BBS usage fer about 2 years when DSL failed.

Ah yes, the Slowsky's. <G> I have internet only with Xfinity...
the TV sets here haven't been turned on in over 8 years.

I use a cellphone account now.

I piggyback off of Xfinity Wi-Fi, but use the Consumer Cellular
smartphone as a hotspot with my laptop for doing ham radio nets
when I'm portable...as I did at the Shreveport Hamfest on Aug. 9.
