Hiya Tom, I managed fall a little behind in reading the weekly fidonews, <20>
|
|||
|
|
but after catching up and noticing your call for "old-stuff" I couln't <20>
|
|||
|
|
resist shooting off a message to you.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I have a couple of oldies but goodies attached (fidohist and struct2). You <20>
|
|||
|
|
may have already received them from someone else, but what the hell. I <20>
|
|||
|
|
EVEN still have a copy of 2 versions of minitel! Want 'em? I'd be MORE <20>
|
|||
|
|
than happy to ship 'em to ya -- just let me know. Look ma! No stamps!

Pardon me while I walk down memory lane in your mail-box. :)

I remember using these two programs for quite a while. I loved them -- <20>
|
|||
|
|
mostly for their simplicity. I think they were also a partial motivator <20>
|
|||
|
|
for me to teach myself C. The phone book lookup was great and to date I <20>
|
|||
|
|
still don't know of a (strictly) telecommunications program that uses <20>
|
|||
|
|
anything like it. I'm refering to the string search.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I remember using Fido v7m (I think that was it). I had just started <20>
|
|||
|
|
getting interested in modeming (is that a verb?) using RBBS and stumbled <20>
|
|||
|
|
upon this funky program called Fido. I couldn't resist running it. It <20>
|
|||
|
|
was so -- different from the other (few) BBS's out there. I immediately <20>
|
|||
|
|
applied to you for a node number -- node 52 it was. I think node 51 <20>
|
|||
|
|
belonged to one of the guys in St.Louis! Wasn't it Ken Kaplin -- or was <20>
|
|||
|
|
that Ben Baker?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Tom its all your fault! I blame you for getting me hooked on BBSing and <20>
|
|||
|
|
being involved with the network in my corner of the world from that point <20>
|
|||
|
|
on. Its all your fault -- and I can't thank you enough. :)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Let me know if ya want those 2 versions of minitel and I'll send 'em right <20>
|
|||
|
|
away.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
BTW, any news on the video cassettes of FidoCon? (Flashback! I remember <20>
|
|||
|
|
seeing a single column article in SOME rag that had your picture in it.) <20>
|
|||
|
|
Sorry, I didn't keep that one. :)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Anyway, I've always wanted to see the faces behind the messages. I'd love <20>
|
|||
|
|
to go some year. Maybe FidoCon can be held in Vegas some year, or better <20>
|
|||
|
|
yet here in southern california!
