Why don't we do this on fnet? (I think a more formal name is "forumnet").. From my admittedly VERY VERY limited use of irc, it's very "icky"! Fnet is a really good implimentation of a networked-chat program! Don't you people all have fnet access that have irc access?? I dunno, in my few minutes of using irc, it just writes over anywhere on the screen and such... NO, I don't mean a messed termtype or anything... from what I remember, the screen doesn't scroll, it just jumps back to the top of the screen and starts writing there... There were lots of other annoying things about the program, but I don't remember what they are! So does fnet sound like a good idea? AND, is there any way we can get ANYONE even semi-well known? Like Tony Fadell maybe?!?!?! Or even someone from Apple like Andy Nicholas or Matt ?! -- /Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu MAIL ME FOR INFO ABOUT CHEAP CDs\ |WRITE TO ORIGIN ABOUT ULTIMA VI //e and IIGS!
