  • Howdy!

    From Ed Vance@1:2320/105 to Mike Powell on Fri Sep 20 22:00:00 2019
    Howdy! Mike,

    I haven't seen any messages here for ages.

    I just tried logging on the Web Portal to look and see when the last message was Logged for this echo but couldn't do it.

    I could click on the Scan List and saw this echo was still checked to
    send to me in a QWK packet.

    I thought I'd write a note to You and after sending the REP, I would try
    to grab a QWK packet to see if this post is in it.

    I see gobs of messages in other echos.

    It may be I haven't wrote anything here and no one else has either.

    Thanks,

    73 de Ed W9ODR . .

    Ed,
    I think that is it as I have also not seen much in here until your post
    this morning. :)

    this echo has been extremely quiet for a long time... over a year, IIRC...

    Didn't MS depart with Win95 for good at this point?

    It was an interesting time.. :)

    Win98SE still running in a VM here, near 24/7@365. XP runs if I need to update the FMail-32bit/lnx tosser config (beta test requires a 32bit Win32 configurator).

    Cheers,

    I still have it running, on an older laptop with no internet connection, so that I can run Simcity 2000 and 3000. I tried to get them running under an emulator on linux but they were always prone to crashing, so the old spare laptop got pushed into service.

    It does have a linux partition if I ever do need the internet for anything.
