Hello MICHAEL.

29 Jun 06 20:07, you wrote to me:

That's because I haven't done it yet. :/

I will, however, after I go get the wife from work, shower and relax (I just
got off work m'self), put in a special command for you.  You will have to go
through the "disclaimer" screen and the "check new mail" question, but then
I'll get you to a small menu where you can directly download or continue on.

Once I can teach myself some more C and tinker, I can write a special script
for ProBoard that will check to see if you've logged in and if so, move you
faster to where you want to be.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be attracting as many people as I once did.
Maybe it's time to update my stuff on people's boards (you'd be suprised at
what a little friendly advertising does for one's BBS).

Happily, however, instead of doing major work on the BBS, it's all little
things now, such as tying in all the nightly maintenance that needs to be done,
making the static bulletins, adding in the rest of the old shareware CDs to the
filebase (I just copied them on to the hard drive), et al.  Nothing huge and I
can do it as time goes by slowly. :)  Now this is where I like my BBS to be at.

Yep.  That sense stems from something else I was taught in the military for
another kind of fish: "If it smells like cologne, leave it alone."  But that's
for another time and place...

I can't handle curry very well, for some reason.  I happen to like curried
food, but my gastrointestinal system dislikes it with a passion and not the
passion I like either.

Later,
Sean

P.S. I still appreciate you calling, even if it's once in a blue moon.  I have
you marked permanent in the user records so your account will stand my 60-day
purging cycles.
