Yea, me too.  I bitch cuz my user base is barely higher than zero.  I'll
give is some more time.  I've been running 24/7 on a dial-up ISP.  I'm
surprised they let me do it.   I believe it's because the competition is
starting to reach our "Hootersville" area.  Hopefully before the turn of the
NEXT century, we will get DSL or Cable or Broadband.....  In my dreams!

We used to have sysop meetings of all the sysops in the immediate area once a
month.  It was great.  We swapped ideas, software and generally had a blast. 
There were IIRC about 23 BBSes involved.  AHHHHH  the good ol' days!!!!  I miss
them.  I met my very best friend thru his BBS in 1993.  We still run our BBSes
as partner boards.  That's where I got my handle.  I drew and ansi menu screens
for about 12 of the BBSs back then. They "christened" me the Ansi Screen Queen.
The Queen name stuck after that.
