Subj : RE: Farewell To : All From : royall@hal-pc.org Date : Sat Jun 09 2001 07:26 am From: "Scott Royall" Subject: RE: Farewell Well, I'll tell you what I told a friend last night. There's nothing magical about 7/1. The problem is really that Conch is obsolete software on very obsolete hardware. A failure is an eventual certainty. And then what? Transferring all the functionality of Conch to say, a NT or 2000 box would be a lot of work, and for what? The activity just isn't there anymore. If there's interest enough, I will see that this mailing list is hosted. -----Original Message----- From: scott@conchbbs.com [mailto:scott@conchbbs.com] On Behalf Of Michelle & Boyd Bottorff Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2001 1:01 PM To: Multiple recipients of AD&D MAILING LIST Subject: Re: Farewell > After more than 15 years of service, Conch will shut down at midnight CT > on 7/1/01.
