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