Well than tell her1
nother
er,
OK!
It's probably the same one.
NOPE, the internet has been here since the 60's <Remember ARPANET> and
it is causeing many people to give up BBS'ing. Remember, Star Trek was
just a fad.And the personal computer.
Have an open mind and give the internet another chance.
  besides there's alot of RIME bbs's that you could telnet to for free.
