Fidonet 2525
An Apocalyptic Vision
by Doug Myers
In the year 2525
If Fido's still alive
If sysops can survive
If not, we'll contrive...
In the days when humanity still controlled things, Fidonet was an
attempt to bring order out of the primordial cyber-chaos before Al
Gore created the ubiquitious internet in six days and six nights.
But mankind never left go of old traditions, and held onto Fidonet
even unto the seventh day.
Even after the users departed Fidonet for the vaster Internet, the
ancient system operators continued to poll in the old ways, so dear
and familiar. As the system operators aged and became infirm, their
once mighty machines continued to poll in an automated manner,
keeping the ancient network active. Even after the mighty machines
turned to dust, the patterns of polling which had spanned the
Internet remained in digital memory, and the maintenance programs
which kept the Internet in repair created routines to keep the
ancient Fidonet operating in it's traditional fashion.
Ironically, Fidonet 2525 exists on the vast internet in isolation,
due mainly to the predominance of two of the early algorithms
governing the Fidonet routine. Mightiest of these algorithms is the
Vested Interest, formed to continue the patterns of a human named
Vest. This algorithm established the principle that Fidonet was
superior to the Internet because the Disturbing Influences were
restricted from the moderated conferences. Another ancient named
Jared designed filters to prevent spam, and the algorithm named the
Jared Juxtiposition reinforces the Vested Interest in such a manner
that no human has since infiltrated Fidonet to disturb the ancient
patterns.
Though humanity has been effectively barred from Fidonet 2525, the
ancients who once walked the halls of Fidonet have given birth to
the many routines which still maintain this network in the old ways.
Amoung the more notable routines:
The Souvestre Syndrome - This algorithm controls the distribution of
echoes which characterize Fidonet 2525. In the beginning, echo
distribution was influenced mightily by a different algorithm, the
Peace Plan, which, unfortunately, only allowed for the creation of
echoes and not their obliteration. The Souvestre Syndrome decreed
the expunging of empty echoes to compensate for the uncontrollable
growth possible under the Peace Plan. With humanity excluded from
Fidonet 2525, empty echoes happen with certain regularity. To
adjust for this situation, the Souvestre Syndrome abandons it's
FIDONEWS 17-23 Page 2 5 Jun 2000
current backbone distribution periodically, allowing it to be run by
some of the many conflicting routines such as the Seaborn Shuffle,
and then forming a new backbone. The ensuing arguements ensure that
echoes are refilled.
The Darrell Dichotomy - Periodically decrees that all algorithms
forming Fidonet are invalid because they weren't written by the
original sysops who formed Fidonet. Though the decree sends
repercussions throughout the routine, the algorithms are never
completely dissolved because no search engine can find the remnants
of all the original sysops.
The Cassell Constraints - Ensures that the "Good Ol' Boys"
collection of algorithms no longer controls Fidonet. Sets up a
condition where these processes are periodically renamed but do the
same ol' routines.
The Myers Melange - Doomed to report the news in a Fidonet 2525
where nothing ever changes, nonetheless this algorithm generates an
unending string of conflicting opinion and limitless supply of ASCII
cow cartoons on a regular basis.
Can this go ten thousand years?
Can we shed a million tears?
For what we never knew,
Ending in the bottom of a cyber lagoon...

Collected "Truths"
[email protected]
GREAT TRUTHS (Kids Know) ABOUT LIFE
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the
second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Reading what people write on desks can teach you a lot.
7) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
8) Puppies still have bad breath, even after eating a tic-tac.

10) School lunches stick to the wall.
11) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
12) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
13) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.
14) Never put a whole BIG spoon of peanut butter in your mouth.
15) Don't wash dog licked, or dropped icecream cone.

20) Always say "Please" very sweetly wnen begging...
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
2) There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to
look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that
wrinkles don't hurt.
3) One reason to smile is that every seven minutes of everyday,
someone in an aerobics class pulls a hamstring.
4) Car sickness is the feeling you get when the monthly payment is
due.
5) The best way to keep kids at home is to make a pleasant atmosphere
and let the air out of their tires.
6) Families are like fudge . . . mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
7) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
8) Laughing helps. It's like jogging on the inside.
9) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the
toy.
10) My mind not only wanders; sometimes it leaves completely.
11) If you can, remain calm, you just don't have all the facts.
12) If your kids never come home except to eat, you are a great cook.
FIDONEWS 17-23 Page 4 5 Jun 2000
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Insanity is my only means of relaxation.
3) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
4) You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and
wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
5) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking
chair what you once got from a roller coaster.
6) Perhaps you know why women over fifty don't have babies: They
would put them down somewhere and forget where they left them.
7) One of life's mysteries is how a two pound box of candy can make a
person gain five pounds.
8) Every time I think about exercise, I lie down til the thought goes
away.
9) God put me on earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right
now, I am so far behind, I will live forever.
10) It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers
to ask you the questions.
11) I finally got my head together, and my body fell apart.
12) There cannot be a crisis this week; my schedule is already full.
13) Time may be a great healer, but it's also a lousy beautician.
14) The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by
then your body and your fat are really good friends.
15) Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.
16) Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
17) Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain
consciousness.
18) Amazing! You just hang something in your closet for a while, and
it shrinks two sizes.
19) It is bad to suppress laughter; it goes back down and spreads to
your hips.
20) Freedom of the press means no-iron clothes.
21) Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but
they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate
cake.
THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.

This weeks Web Page
By Frank Vest
This weeks page is the KloneZone Mac BBS page.
Where?
http://kz.eaze.net/
FIDONEWS 17-23 Page 5 5 Jun 2000
What's it got?
Well... It's a "Mac". :-)
Seriously... Some of us tend to forget that there are computers
other than the IBM clones and compatibles out in BBS land. This
writer went from a Coleco Adam system direct to an IBM and on from
there. Since I know less than nothing about the Macintosh systems,
I'll let the page do the talking. Drop by and look this site over.
---- cut ----
The KloneZone Mac was established in Nov 1992 to support the users
of Apple II, Macintosh, Newton and Power PC as well as
MS-DOS/Windows, Unix, and other computer platforms. At the time of
its inception, the system operated on a Macintosh II with 8 MB of
RAM and 230 MB of disk storage.
Networking was always a feature of the KloneZone Mac , beginning
with Fidonet echomail and news as provided by TabbyNet software, and
moving to Mackennel when the Fidonet load outgrew the limits of the
Tabby software.
About 6 years ago, the KloneZone Mac was migrated to a Power
Macintosh 8100/80 because the original system suffered damage in an
electrical storm, even though the power and phone lines were
disconnected, and a pair of surge protectors were connected to the
CPU. (The lightning strike was close enough to be felt by the
administrator, and it scrambled other electronics as well as totally
destroyed the admin's home theatre system receiver, a cordless
phone, and a VCR.)
The system storage has grown too, with 152 megabytes of RAM, several
gigabytes of hard disk storage, and 5 CD ROMs to replace the single
CD ROM purchased second hand along with the TeleFinder BBS software.
TeleFinder was always used on this system because of its ease of
installation and maintenance, as well as its ease of use to the
systems callers.
The KloneZone Mac currently has an array of over 600 message areas
with local, state-wide, regional, national and international
distribution cover technical, recreation, political, education, and
business-related themes. Networking capabilities now in the
TeleFinder servers and companion add-in software allow the system to
include several hundred UseNet newsgroups, continuous Internet
Email, TeleFinder Network (TFNet) message areas and Email, as well
as personal web pages and 318 Fidonet message areas.
Items of interest to virtually anyone can be found online. Access to
networked feeds supporting Commodore-Amiga, Apple II, Macintosh,
CP/M, DOS, Windows, OS/2, and Unix are online.
The system is now in a rebuilding process because ALL recent files
(programs, configuration data, user mail and web pages, system and
personal files) were lost in a hard disk failure with no chance of
recovery. (The most current backup was largely unreadable, but and
FIDONEWS 17-23 Page 6 5 Jun 2000
older one was restored) The new pages reflect the administrator's
efforts to get things back on track.

NET HUMOR
=================================================================
25 THINGS YOU WILL LEARN IN 50 YEARS OF LIVING
1. The badness of a movie is directly proportional to the number of
helicopters in it.
2. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and
compelling reason why we observe "Daylight Saving Time."
3. People who feel the need to tell you that they have an excellent
sense of humor are telling you that they have no sense of humor.
4. The most valuable function performed by the federal government is
entertainment.
5. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely
suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual
baby emerging from her at that moment.
6. A penny saved is worthless.
7. They can hold all the peace talks they want, but there will never
be peace in the Middle East. Billions of years from now, when
Earth is hurtling toward the Sun and there is nothing left alive
on the planet except a few microorganisms, the microorganisms
living in the Middle East will be bitter enemies.
8. The most powerful force in the universe is: gossip.
9. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age,
gender, religion, economic status, or ethnic background, is that,
deep down inside, we all believe that we are above-average
drivers.
10. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people
to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is: age 11.
11. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
12. People who want to share their religious views with you almost
never want you to share yours with them.
13. There apparently exists, somewhere in Los Angeles, a computer
that generates concepts for television sitcoms. When TV
executives need a new concept, they turn on this computer; after
sorting through millions of possible plot premises, it spits
out, "THREE QUIRKY BUT ATTRACTIVE YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING IN AN
APARTMENT," and the executives turn this concept into a show.
The next time they need an idea, the computer spits out, "SIX
QUIRKY BUT ATTRACTIVE YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING IN AN APARTMENT." Then
the next time, it spits out, "FOUR QUIRKY BUT ATTRACTIVE YOUNG
PEOPLE LIVING IN AN APARTMENT." And so on. We need to locate
FIDONEWS 17-23 Page 8 5 Jun 2000
this computer and destroy it with hammers.
14. Nobody is normal.
15. At least once per year, some group of scientists will become
very excited and announce that:
- The universe is even bigger than they thought!
- There are even more subatomic particles than they thought!
- Whatever they announced last year about global warming is wrong.
16. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human
race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full
potential, that word would be: "meetings."
17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to
annoy people who are not in them.
18. The value of advertising is that it tells you the exact opposite
of what the advertiser actually thinks. For example:
- If the advertisement says "This is not your father's
Oldsmobile," the advertiser is desperately concerned that this
Oldsmobile, like all other Oldsmobiles, appeals primarily to
old farts like your father.
- If Coke and Pepsi spend billions of dollars to convince you
that there are significant differences between these two
products, both companies realize that Pepsi and Coke are
virtually identical.
- If an advertisement shows a group of cool, attractive
youngsters getting excited and high-fiving each other because
the refrigerator contains Sunny Delight,the advertiser knows
that any real youngster who reacted in this way to this
beverage would be considered by his peers to be the world's
biggest dip----.
- And so on those rare occasions when advertising dares to poke
fun at the product-as in the classic Volkswagen Beetle
campaign-it's because the advertiser actually thinks the
product is pretty good. If a politician ever ran for president
under a slogan such as "Harlan Frubert:Basically, He Wants
Attention," I would quit my job to work for his campaign.
19. If there really is a God who created the entire universe with
all of its glories, and He decides to deliver a message to
humanity, He will not use, as His messenger, a person on cable
TV with a bad hairstyle.
20. You should not confuse your career with your life.
21. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a
nice person.
22. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too
seriously.
FIDONEWS 17-23 Page 9 5 Jun 2000
23. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one
individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take
command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
24. Your friends love you anyway.
25. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
