Look, I'm tired of hearing this garbage.  You want pics?  Call the Shadowland
BBS, (814) 238-4654, 3/12/2400 baud.  They've got plenty.  You want games?
Call the Entity, (814) 234-2971, 3/12/2400 baud.  Plenty of games. Have you
got internet access?  FTP to grape.ecs.clarkson.edu.  Look in directory
graphics, and readmac.   grape is also a BBS, but I don't remember the number
right now.  If you're on Fidonet, you can request all these files from 263/41
(the Shadowland), grape is also on Fido, in 260/, but I don't remember what
node...

Anyway... in my experience, there are PLENTY of graphics and games on BBS's.
So there's no reason at all for the net to carry the burden of them.

I HAVE noticed, however, that the net is a great supply area for BBS's.
Sysops who have net access get the best utilities quickly.  Users who have
net access upload the utilities they find.  I'm sure people would be glad
to complain about this: "Hey, they're not even paying for a feed! Someone
else is paying for them!"

Oh well, time to stop babbling.
