-> Anyone still running SPITFIRE?

MM> $85 for a copy is a bit high to get new blood into the software.

What? There were actually SysOps running Spitfire without the "Caution:
Unauthorized Copy" messages showing for years? ;-)

I recently found a backup of my old board from the summer of 1994. Though I
don't think it qualifies as "still running SPITFIRE," a version of v3.4 *has*
been going in a DosBox window as I've been going through it.

I'm ashamed to say that the reason I even have this backup is because it was
right before I switched to Wildcat! :-( There were just so many things I was
hoping Spitfire would support in the future that were obviously never going to
happen that I went with Wildcat! based on its promises for 4.0 over Mike's
promises for 3.5.

Though I never had any complaints with WC4, and in fact *loved* running it, I
*always* felt bad about abandoning the SF crowd. But, I guess you can only go
so long without a Full-Screen Editor. ;-)
