I thought that freeform looked pretty interesting, with the ability to
mimic any bbs out there, but I wonder how it will compare to some of
the stuff out there...  DLG's giving everything a run for its money,
and it's still in beta...

Ya, I know whatcha mean...  It's been panicky here before, many times.
Never fun, but always been solved.  I hope C= fixes his problem, the
last I heard about it, C= had been calling him daily...

How often does B.B. drop in there???  :)

Oh, sure.  Naturally, that discounts the "Beer Capitol of the
World"...  :)  Hopefully, when they get more money, they'll be able to
do more.  C= is still pretty poor, as computer companies go...
Compared to the big boys, at least...

So do I.  :)

here.  :D
