P.S. sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, I just started reading
this board :)
Nothing wrong with that - I mean, resurrecting an old thread. If
we didn't have a listing/history of older threads (even the one
you based your message on from one in Mar 2020), any echo would
look rather empty.
Kudos to systems that do keep a modicum of messages to read, even
for nostalgic purposes.
Tim Pozar (instrumental is building software to map Fidonet to
the Internet) [ref. The Virtual Community, by Howard Rheinhold,
p. 139] ..started up the site
http://olduse.net "updated in real
time as it was thirty years ago" and the complementary nntp group comp.org.fidonet and republishes the Fidonews from 30 years ago
on the same date from 30 years ago. For example, the latest issue
is Dec 20, 1990. ;)
It is interesting insight on how people thought about Fidonet and
bbsing back then.
