  Welp, it is still pretty much the same, fidonet is pretty much dead!, as
  all the BBS have shut down, etc, due to increased internet feeds and
  activity etc!, but a few of us are still sitting on the sidelines
  monitoring the echos etc.

 as for political status, north and south have just finished a big round of
 talks etc, with more to come, we might see then re-united, with-in the next
 few years, much like the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, and the re-uniting
 of Germany etc.  Hope it doesn't come too fast though!, would hate to be out
 of a job! (Grin)

Just hit my 48th Birthday on the 23rd of June, still a young man!

Did spend a little over 20 years in the Active US Army, then retired, and
went to work as a civilian employee of the US Army over here, have been with
that since 1991!, so that make approx almost 30 years of continuious US
Government service!

Ran a BBS on an old Wang Classic, in 88-90, using Spitfire, and Binkley
combination, with MS Dos emulation cards installed in the WANG ( that was a
trip), switched it over to the Zenith Laptops, when they first came out with
10 meg harddrives etc.,  then brought up a couple more nodes using RA and
I-mail, on Tandys, sheech looking back on it I must have been a gluttion for
punishment!, keeps those up wasn't fun!, then right after I started playing
with 386sx's, and a 486dx2, machines all laptops etc, most of the BBS and
nodes just plain gave it all up! over here at least, so I switched to being a
"Point", just to stay connected to FidoNet, and that is where I am now!



 -=> Best of Luck!, Stan Burke <=-
