Death of a Viking
|
||
Doug Myers
|
||
|
||
I lost a friend this week. Saturday morning at about 3AM, Phil
|
||
Anderson, known in BBS circles as The Viking, died of heart failure.
|
||
Phil didn't participate much in Fidonet, but I'd like to remember
|
||
him here because he was an integral part of the BBS scene from which
|
||
Fido grew.
|
||
|
||
Phil's Viking Board was a fixture in the Harrisburg PA area even
|
||
before Fidonet was introduced by George Peace. His original board
|
||
was a modest affair run on a Commodore using only floppy disk
|
||
drives. Though he ran it as "The Viking," he insisted on real names
|
||
from his users feeling that the anonymity of handles led to abuses
|
||
in messaging. I don't know that I agreed with his viewpoint, but
|
||
his message areas were always filled with conversation from the
|
||
local callers.
|
||
|
||
Of course, the BBS moved to better machines as they became
|
||
available, but the nature of the board seemed tied always to the
|
||
personality of The Viking - a persona who had a political opinion on
|
||
just about everything, rumbled through the chat bases like a
|
||
bumbling Hagar the Horrible, and with a Garden set up for his
|
||
Goddesses who delighted in zapping him for his transgressions.
|
||
|
||
Though some of the older BBSes in the area grew big with lots of
|
||
networked message bases and tons of files, the Viking Board remained
|
||
the same. Even in this millennium, he still maintained the original
|
||
collection of Commodore files he'd offered through the decades
|
||
"because no one else does."
|
||
|
||
Phil did more than run a BBS, though. He was active in most of the
|
||
computer groups which once proliferated in the area, and still
|
||
served as President of The Harrisburg Area Computer Group until his
|
||
recent death. His home was a gathering place for BBSers and other
|
||
computer users, and he always had a pot of coffee on when I dropped
|
||
by :)
|
||
|
||
His connection with Fido was brief. I'd dropped over for coffee and
|
||
the usual bull session one time, and we talked about Fido. So I set
|
||
him up with a mailer and some batch files to integrate to the TriBBS
|
||
system he was running, had him exchange netmail with the local NC so
|
||
he'd qualify for a node number, and downloaded the Echolist from my
|
||
board so he could select message bases. But he changed his mind,
|
||
feeling that he didn't want to change the "local" nature of his
|
||
board.
|
||
|
||
At that point, I almost agreed with him. Though I heavily favor
|
||
Fidonet, his BBS was still going strong long after most of the local
|
||
boards had folded. Why mess with a good thing?
|
||
|
||
FIDONEWS 17-33 Page 2 14 Aug 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
So Phil's death won't affect Fidonet much, but a little piece of
|
||
BBSing is gone forever...

|

BBS of the Future?
|
||
Doug Myers
|
||
|
||
Ed Koon advertises Doc's Place, an online BBS, in this issue.
|
||
Though it's not the first BBS accessible through the Internet, the
|
||
advertisement stirs some hope in me. In introducing the
|
||
advertisement, Ed points out that there's just him and the NEC left
|
||
in the old net. Unsaid, but implied, is that Doc's Place isn't
|
||
going to fold despite the trend with dial-up BBSes.
|
||
|
||
It doesn't take a mental giant to figure out that the combination of
|
||
Internet access and the availability of much more sophisticated
|
||
computers has outmoded the traditional dial-up BBS. And it's not
|
||
unjustified - the range of abilities to a user on the Web is much
|
||
greater than ever dreamed with any BBS. But, in this exodus to the
|
||
Web, there seems to be something missing...
|
||
|
||
It's hard to define, but let me take a stab. When BBSing was at
|
||
it's peak, I could log onto fifty-two boards within my local calling
|
||
area. While quality varied, each of these BBSes was an individual
|
||
community. With the Web, I suppose there is some kind of community,
|
||
but it's a world-wide community... not at all like the limitless
|
||
variety possible with individual sysops creating their own little
|
||
world.
|
||
|
||
What may have been the strength of BBSing was that one didn't need
|
||
to be a SERIOUS PLAYER to set up a board. All it took was enough
|
||
money to afford a phone line (though some of the young folks avoided
|
||
this and used the family line... usually with disastrous results),
|
||
and the computer you were using to call out anyway. In the past,
|
||
the Internet was only for SERIOUS PLAYERS - the costs of setting up
|
||
an operation on the Web other than a simple home page pretty much
|
||
ruled out hobbyists.
|
||
|
||
But have we progressed to a time when an individual hobbyist can
|
||
connect his computer to the Web full time? Can we capture the
|
||
seeming endless variety of the BBS scene once again?
|

Ol'WDB's Column
|
||
wdbonner@pacbell.net
|
||
|
||
This one is a heart-felt reminder... to remind us all to appreciate
|
||
those we have in our lives, and the power of love and of our own
|
||
special guardian angels! I needed to share this with all fido
|
||
friends. Perhaps it will atone to some degree for my temper at at
|
||
times.
|
||
|
||
RUDY'S ANGEL
|
||
|
||
| walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in
|
||
buying groceries. I wasn't hungry. The pain of losing my husband of
|
||
37 years was still too raw. And this grocery store held so many
|
||
sweet memories. Rudy often came with me and almost every time he'd
|
||
pretend to go off and look for something special. I knew what he was
|
||
up to. I'd always spot him walking down the aisle with the three
|
||
yellow roses in his hands. Rudy knew I loved yellow roses.
|
||
|
||
With a heart filled with grief, I only wanted to buy my few items
|
||
and leave, but even grocery shopping was different since Rudy had
|
||
passed on. Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it
|
||
had for two.
|
||
|
||
Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak and
|
||
remembered how Rudy had loved his steak. Suddenly a woman came up
|
||
beside me. She was blond, slim and lovely in a soft green pantsuit.
|
||
I watched as she picked up a large pack of T-bones, dropped them in
|
||
her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She turned to go and
|
||
once again reached for the pack of steaks.
|
||
|
||
She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones,
|
||
but honestly, at these prices, I don't know."
|
||
|
||
I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her pale blue eyes.
|
||
"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. Glancing at the
|
||
package in her hands, I fought to control the tremble in my voice.
|
||
"Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you have together."
|
||
|
||
She shook her head and I saw the emotion in her eyes as she placed
|
||
the package in her basket and wheeled away. I turned and pushed my
|
||
cart across the length of the store to the dairy products. There I
|
||
stood, trying to decide which size milk I should buy. A quart, I
|
||
finally decided and moved on to the ice cream section near the front
|
||
of the store. If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice
|
||
cream cone.
|
||
|
||
I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle toward
|
||
the front. I saw first the green suit, then recognized the pretty
|
||
lady coming towards me. In her arms she carried a package. On her
|
||
face was the brightest smile I had ever seen. I would swear a soft
|
||
FIDONEWS 17-33 Page 4 14 Aug 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
halo encircled her blond hair as she kept walking toward me, her
|
||
eyes holding mine.
|
||
|
||
As she came closer, I saw what she held and tears began misting in
|
||
my eyes. "These are for you," she said and placed three beautiful
|
||
long stemmed yellow roses in my arms. "When you go through the line,
|
||
they will know these are paid for." She leaned over and placed a
|
||
gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her
|
||
what she'd done, what the roses meant, but still unable to speak, I
|
||
watched as she walked away as tears clouded my vision.
|
||
|
||
I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in the green tissue
|
||
wrapping and found it almost unreal. How did she know?
|
||
|
||
Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Rudy, you
|
||
haven't forgotten me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes.
|
||
He was still with me, and she was his angel.
|
||
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
Everyday be thankful for what you have and who you are, because you
|
||
all are precious to someone, and when anger next raises it's ugly
|
||
head, remember love is a most healing thing... if we apply it to our
|
||
wounds.

Tiger in the Dark
|
||
Thanks to Roy Reed
|
||
|
||
Stevie Wonder and Tiger Woods are in a bar. Woods turns to Wonder
|
||
and says: How is the singing career going?"
|
||
|
||
Stevie Wonder replies: "Not too bad! How's the golf?"
|
||
|
||
Woods replies: "Not too bad, I've had some problems with my swing,
|
||
but I think I've got that right now."
|
||
|
||
Stevie Wonder says: "I always find that when my swing goes wrong, I
|
||
need to stop playing for a while and not think about it. Then, the
|
||
next time I play, it seems to be all right.
|
||
|
||
Tiger Woods says: "You play golf?"
|
||
|
||
Stevie Wonder says: "Oh, yes, I've been playing for years."
|
||
|
||
And Woods says: "But, you're blind. How can you play golf if you're
|
||
blind?"
|
||
|
||
Wonder replies: "I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the
|
||
fairway and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and
|
||
play the ball towards him. Then, when I get to where the ball
|
||
lands, the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and
|
||
again I play the ball towards his voice."
|
||
|
||
"But, how do you putt?", asks Woods.
|
||
|
||
"Well," says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the
|
||
hole and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play the
|
||
ball towards his voice."
|
||
|
||
Woods asks: "What's your handicap?"
|
||
|
||
Stevie says, "Well, I'm a scratch golfer."
|
||
|
||
Woods, incredulous, says to Stevie: "We've got to play a round
|
||
sometime."
|
||
|
||
Wonder replies: "Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only
|
||
play for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole."
|
||
|
||
Woods thinks about it and says, "OK, I'm game for that, when would
|
||
you like to play?"
|
||
|
||
Stevie says, "Pick a night!"

a @ preceding an individual's name implies a virtual email
|
||
address. The email is translated as follows
|
||
firstlast@osirusoft.com will automatically route to the
|
||
appropriate individual's email. Anyone in this list will
|
||
also receive routed notice of this feature. In my case, it
|
||
would still be joejared@osirusoft.com, but you get the idea.
|
||
|
||
Also, as information is provided to me, I will be adding a
|
||
latency field to each node, which is defined as the maximum
|
||
time between when the message is received, and when it is
|
||
sent on to other nodes, or available to be sent onward,
|
||
defined in minutes. A latency of ! implies that there is an
|
||
immediate response, and an attempt to deliver immediately
|
||
after processing, or a "MinuteMail System", as it were.
