<EFBFBD> The Sysops Tale <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> BBSing is so much fun, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> I did it all the time, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> so I thought I'd start a bbs, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> that was just for me and mine. <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> The first week was really great, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> new callers I was meeting, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> and reading lots of great new mail, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> and passing out my greetings. <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> The second week was almost fun, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> the message base was growing, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> the files were going up and down, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> things were smoothly flowing. <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> The third week was OK I think, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> a few problems here and there, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> but so far I had only gained, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> a very few gray hairs. <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> The first month was over now, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> the board was still on-line, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> but folks had started writing me, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> and answers took so much time, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> And after that it got so busy, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> with all that mail to do, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> I wished I had the time and cash, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> to hire an extra crew. <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> The messages were growing now, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> the mail was piling up, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> I barely had sufficient time, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> to fill my coffee cup. <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> The doors started going down, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> the modem overheated, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> the hard disk crashed and lost my files, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> and I just felt defeated. <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> But this stuff is so much fun, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> I really can't stop now, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> I'll cut and paste it back on-line, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> and make it work somehow. <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> And now I'm so much wiser, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> I'll never let it fail, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> for now I'll just have to go, <20>
|
|||
|
|
<EFBFBD> and answer all my mail. <20>
|
|||
