Hi Accession,

It does.  One of the reasons I am not moving too fast to re-install that
machine, I do have an image backup made weekly just in case.

Sorry yes QWK mail from your side and my fidonet node that is setup to
poll for netmail whenever I think about it.  Although in the background
I've been quietly coding my own BBS software on the commodore 64.  Lost
my original code due to a bad floppy so re-creating it from the data
disk.

I said that for years. :)  There are rants online from me about rpm hell.

LOL  I just can't get used to the command lines for that one.  I use
the terminal for this stuff on Mint and fedora, but pacman is causing a
mental block.

... For every action there's an equal and opposite criticism.
