 Pa> Hey, Elf... I had fun reading through your retro fun and appreciate
 Pa> that you wrote the article on our awesome BBS FTN. Thanks for sharing
 Pa> - I also have a few retro systems that I both <3 and [Grrr]!  
 Pa> I'm enjoying moving thru the web pages you've designed... I use
 Pa> 68k.news to read my news every single day; I created a small webpage
 Pa> that displays it, amongst other information, in a way that both my
 Pa> Windows98 and DOS systems CAN view.  

 I have not had a chance to go back and read an article on this, but I
found one that is supposed to explain how to setup a proxy to allow
systems like Windows 98 to visit web sites that require SSL. Likely by
just pulling down the site to the proxy, then serving it to the Win98
stripping out all https/ssl requirements.


 Pa> Super glad you have your Dell hardware mostly working as of now; I do
 Pa> have a Windows 98 laptop thats giving me some grief. Mostly that
 Pa> theres no easy connection to the outside world without buying some new
 Pa> hardware to make it happen... I WILL get to it.

Yeah, lots of googling. :-)

 Pa> Lately, I've been liking getting into C=Commodore hardware. My C=128
 Pa> has some great solutions for files and networking.. soon to come I
 Pa> want to get its 80column mode working perfectly. Its a task, with new
 Pa> monitors not being compatible without crazy hardware work arounds. I
 Pa> still lust for a 1902 monitor that would just 'work'.

I have never tried a Commodore computer before. I remember them, of
course, just never used one! :-)

 Pa> Anyway, I would have dropped you a line thru your web sites, but I
 Pa> didnt see a contact me section. THANK YOU for making me smile on a
 Pa> Saturday... that I WASN'T pulling my hair out worrying about Win98
 Pa> drivers, lol - TODAY, anyway.... last; if you need those Apogee games,
 Pa> I'm sure I have a ZIP round here somewhere with original
 Pa> disks/installers. Drop me a line anywhere in the BBS scene. 
 Pa> w00t w00t!

Thanks for visiting! Yeah, I was working on the contact form but didn't
finish yet. I plan on adding one to each site soon. I need more hobby
time! :-)
