George,


 GP> Nice collection!

 GP> Evokes some not so nice memories of Windoze past & present. . .

 GP> Haiku is such a fun little format. . .

  Or, it's a greeting when you meet Koo...Hi, Koo. <G>

 GP> I need a tune to sing them to, so I can write some death defying
 GP> Grammy-winning  lyrics! Then I'll need someone who can sing!

  This life of wine, women, and song, is getting me down. I guess I'm
going to have to give up singing. <G>

  On another note, I'm having major issues with the BBS NOT busying
out the nodes on the doorgames. I've sent a note to digital man (aka
Rob Swindell) to find out what I might be overlooking. If a user is
online, and accesses a door during maintenance, it'll crash the door
and the system. I can't always be up at 12 midnight to "manually down
the nodes" to keep users offline while the doors are updated for the
daily maintenance. 

  But, if worse comes to worse, I'll just remove all the doors from
the BBS...then I have to wonder is there any point of keeping it
online at all?? I hate to waste the doors I've registered over the
last 32 years...and right now, only you and I seem to be the "active"
users.

  While removing the doors would make it easier to move the system
to Windows 11, I use the laptop for ham radio traffic nets, and I
can't afford a new CPU...especially since the State Of Arkansas is
threatening to remove my Low Medicare Funding Beneficiary status.
If I have to pay nearly $200 a month for the Medicare premium, I'm
going to have to sell my car.

  Needless to say, I'm not a very happy camper right now.

Daryl
