Subj : FidoNet remembered on popular podcast by John C Dvorak and Adam Curry To : Rob Swindell From : August Abolins Date : Sat Dec 09 2023 19:41:00 Hello Rob! >> And that's it? They didn't even refer to "netmail" properly >> and called it "email" :( Do they delve into Fidonet with >> more detail in the full program? RS> No, that was pretty much it for that episode. There's been RS> many other instances where they've remembered BBSing and RS> FidoNet:https://nasearch.online/episode/ RS> 516?q=fido%20net&st=alloftext&tab =transcript -- Nothing worthy there. The search/transcript feature is interesting though. No hits for "fidonet", but 3 results for "fido net". That tech has a long way to go before it is useful for finding relevant text in a podcast. I used to listen to the No Agenda podcast more regularly in the past. But I stopped when it seemed you never knew what they would end up talking about. 1hr+ to 2hrs is a bit too long for a stream of conciousness chit chat. There is far more relevant "Fidonet remembered.." content in a couple of recent books that I've mentioned in a few other echos. Listening to a couple of old guys misremembering what Fidonet is and is not can be a bit depressing actually. :/ -- ../|ug --- OpenXP 5.0.57 * Origin: Mobile?
