Does this sound snotty to anyone else or is it just me? The original post
asked a very simple question. He just wanted to know if anyone had done any
work with TCP on CP/M or whether the original stuff and been maintained to
any degree. And instead of a polite "no, no one is working on that but you
are welcome to if you like" he gets this lecture on how his computer isn't
worth using and he should buy a PC. When he says he likes his computer he
gets another reply telling him if he wants it he should write. Like he was
complaining or something. But he never did complained! In fact, he said:

> I sort of hope there isn't any, then I will have to write some.

Anyone in this hobby that says something like this in this day and age does
not deserve the shit this guy is getting back for it. And he's getting it
from those people pushing the most for a no-code license to get more doers
into ham radio!!! [not meant to imply I am pro-code]

This is no fun anymore.
