Hi All,
 Ne> >  Did you notice Synchronet wasn't mentioned?

Part two of the documentary specifically goes into BBS software. Think of part
one as an introduction to all the other sections. I wanted to make sure that
Part one was the thing that got potential newcomers to BBS's into it. If they
want to know more, they can either call into a BBS, or watch the following
parts as they go along. 

However, I have promoted calls all over the place, for interviews and content:
BBS's, reddit, facebook and many other places for people to get involved. Many,
 many have, but literally nothing to do with Synchronet - nobody has shown the
least bit interest in talking to me to represent that. I can't go chasing down
every single person and product in the scene, so, if there is something that
needs to be addressed, before it is too late, now is the time to speak out and
get what needs to be covered in the docu. I personally very little about
Synchronet. I am a user of BBSes, not a Sysop.

 Ne> To be fair, nothing was mentioned specifically, I don't think. We'll
 Ne> have tosee what is upcoming. Thought I must admit, I fell asleep during
 Ne> the lastpart, it was that interesting lol.

Good to see that my dulcet tones are still successfully lulling people to
sleep! Remember that the audience is not for sysops, or BBS afficionados, it is
 for a potential new generation of BBS users.

For those that haven't fallen asleep (sic), here's what the contents of Part 2
and Part 3 are:
PART 2:
Games/ Doors
Mods
Hardware (eg the wifi232, some commodores and stuff, but not much here)
BBS Server Software (eg Mystic, Enigma, ... Synchronet)
BBS Messaging /echomail
Privacy

PART 3:
ANSI scene
Demoscene / Mod Scene
.... and a little look back in time at the underground HPAVC stuff.

If you think there is something that's not there that should be, let me know!
