To say nothing of trying to develop Amigix while a BBS is *running*?? Damn, must I write an OS-friendly, small BBS first? [1/2 :-)] {Lower priority... Gimme a year and I might get around to it...} With a hard drive of decent speed (which would mean no executables copied to ram: ) there should be no problem running a BBS that I write (You can write one if you want, but I'd just as soon run one I write myself) concurrently with an editor such as dme (or even maybe possibly mg) and/or even possibly Lattice. It'd be easier with a meg and a half, but with a meg and a hard drive it shouldn't pose a problem. Time to trade in the 500 for a 2000, eh? Rrrrright. When I've got money. (And of course, part of the reason I started this chain in the first place was to find out if expansion to a 2000 was necessary.)
