 It was a quantum leap, going from a DOS BBS to running the BBS and iRex
 in Windows. I got my first internet fido feed around '97 and went from
 polling once a night to once an hour...

 Good times.

 What drew me to Synchronet was being able to run a telnettable BBS,
 SMTP/POP3/IMAP servers, NNTP, FTP and a web server, all in one package.
 All this ran, back in the early 2000s, on a Celeron 533 with 512 MB of
 RAM.
