  • No Mails in a week

    From Todd Sullivan@1:2320/100 to David L. Stevens on Tue Oct 21 17:28:40 2003
    David L. Stevens and All will demonstrate tag-team No Mails in a week.
    Everyone take notes.

    Geez! We've got someone who doesn't remember Gary and Asha (they're
    not
    a couple)! Gary Peake is now working for Amiga, Inc. Asha Develder was the moderator of this echo a few years ago. Now she's a co-moderator
    of the Team Amiga Mailing List (TAML) on owlnet.net.

    After checking my logs, it appears Bo's messages didn't appear until a few weeks ago.

    G'day Todd,

    In a message dated 18 Oct 03 you wrote to Bo Simonsen:

    Okey. Benny has some too. :-) But he's at the darkside (PC).
    lol, darkside, Graig is on the other side :-)
    an Amiga IS a PC in the meaning of a Personal Computer
    Okay I meant a Intel based PC :-)

    Just so we can all understand what's being discussed, what say we call them "Wintel Boxes"?

    But they're not ALL Wintel machines. AFAIK Benny doesn't even have Windows installed. He does have at least one x86 machine though.

    It worked back when Gary and Asha were here.

    Yeah, but things change....

    Cache Ya,

    That's is a good expression :-)

    Hmm.. Who?

    Oh, that's right.

    Gary Peake was one of our more prolific posters, and is - I think -
    part of the AmigaOne team.

    Okay. Good there is people like those, they should just be in Fidonet.

    Asha Develder was our most prolific poster, and ran the IRC chats on Sundays, and was my predecessor as Moderator.

    Okay.

    I think I've held the position longest, but I'm not sure.

    Anyway, that's enough Team Amiga history...

    Thanks :-)

    Regards,
    Bo

    So? Who needs a scorecard, or cares about the Yankees?

    It's a recognizable convention and saves time and electrons, and it will be used unless someone can do better. The Mderator has spoken.

    Yeah, but things change....

    Not always for the better. I'd rather have Joyce back as Moderator, and
    just be one more pain in the ass.

    Since that's unlikely...

    I beg to differ there. *I* was your predecessor.

    I was offered the position by Asha.

    I think I've held the position longest, but I'm not sure.

    Not by a long shot. Joyce Divina founded the echo and was moderator for over ten years.

    Anyway, that's enough Team Amiga history...

    Team Amiga? No Team Amiga history there.

    Team Amiga *did* start here though. It was Rick Lembree's (hope there's Amigas in heaven Rick!) sly dig at a bunch of usenet posters and their own "Team OS/2".

    The mantle of Team Amiga cooordinator(s) only passed to Gary and Asha after Rick's untimely death.

    For those who weren't around in those heady days, Rick ran Harbor Lights BBS and like Asha, Gary and even Joyce, was a stanch supporter of the Amiga.

    You're skating on thin ice with that remark, Craig.

    No more platform bashing. That includes the OS. Nobody can help what's on their system when they buy it.

    Also, the implication that persons who use those OSs are idiots is just
    this side of unforgivable. Don't do it again.

    My remark was actually aimed at the 'net kiddies who wouldn't know real computing if they were hit 'round the head with it, and that even though it might be x86 hardware one doesn't *have* *to* run Windows on it.

    We're not doing too bad on that score. ;^)

    AFAIK, Jeff and Holly have given up on Fido for the Net. The same might be true for Asha and Gary. I've heard little or nothing from others. Joyce
    could have left the country, for all I've ben able to learn, which is
    nothing.

    And yes, I'm a bit worried. You can't share an obsession with people for a
    few years and not. <snort!>

    Most people have given up on Fido for the Net. There's two reason for me
    still reading this echo 1) I can get is as a e-mail feed, and 2) the flow
    is so little I haven't bothered to learn how to disconnect - because, honestly, there's not much to come after anymore.

    Well, time changes everything and it has definitely changed Fido.

    I have been reading AMIGA for ten years with a few periods here and there
    when no feed was available for me. Just think about back when this echo was
    a several hundred messages a day echo. Does anybody know then AMIGA
    started for the very first time.

    well, I (like some others) access Fido via the net. So, I haven't

    And yes, I'm a bit worried. You can't share an obsession with

    true. But, I suppose Fido, like everything, must change over time.
    Maybe unrealistic for me to think it should stay the same.

    yes, I didn't really think about that before saying it. Some of the old
    gang is here already. Some came back, and some never left. Your name
    does sound familiar, but not sure if we've 'chatted' before. But then,

    Well, time changes everything and it has definitely changed Fido.

    life goes on

    I have been reading AMIGA for ten years with a few periods here and
    there when no feed was available for me. Just think about back when this echo was a several hundred messages a day echo.

    i do remember when isdn was needed to get this postings home in a time less then 5 mins :-)

    Does anybody know then AMIGA started for the very first time.

    i don't remember, i did get AMIGA from Scala BBS, Perto was a ASSHOLE, sorry todd, but it was him self that state it on his bbs :-)

    It's not so hard to get onto AMIGA. There are some webpages for getting onto Fidonet, and they have the AMIGA echo available.

    Else, there are ways to get point access on Snoop InfoSystems via IP or dialup.

    a several hundred messages a day echo. Does anybody know then AMIGA
    started for the very first time.

    I remember these days. Heck, that was the first time I managed to crash a
    UMS message base....

    OTOH, there's now some real software available to manage the workload, else MailManager on the Amiga will still do and in some points, is way superior to quite some Linux stuff.

    But we need the old folks back....

    By the way, it seems a lot of the old Fido Amiga crew is still around somewhere. I know where practically every one of my prior AmigaETag testers are. *laughs*

    AmigaETag? Do I remember that from somewhere (digs up in the memory)....no, this one lost to another more unix-tag like program called "quip". But if there's a version for the AmigaOne....

    At any rate, it's good to see folks coming back to the dog....

    Of course. But the Amiga scene has changed a lot over the last ten years.
    It is dying and have been so for a long time. Okay, it will probably still survive many, many years and the userbase might even stabilize at some
    low number.

    The fewer Amigans have certainly meant that we are a lot fewer to discuss.
    And there have been a lot less to discuss.

    i do remember when isdn was needed to get this postings home in a time less then 5 mins :-)

    Perhaps you should have polled your boss more often?

    Or did you receive it uncompressed?

    Kinda long time. I remembered in 97 was the flow pretty high.

    The main reason for leaving FidoNet was that the flow in the
    Danish FidoNet echoes was becoming smaller and smaller.

    It's so, but if you write something, you're quite scure to get response.

    And by the time I left it
    was really not worth polling my boss. After a few months without
    AMIGA (which I didn't miss), I found a Usenet gate to FidoNet and re-subscribe to this echo.

    Yes, okay.

    on these days. Time is not something I have in huge excess these days like I did ten years ago.

    Okay, then the flow ain't high it's kinda easy to find time for it. Last day I sent 33 messages only in one day (what Squish told me), but I bet I've more time than you.

    Sure. But at least now, things can't get much worse. If my customers had Amigas
    (even AOnes), they'd probably have fewer problems with virii. An outbreak of the blaster worm can be fun. :)

    Perhaps you should have polled your boss more often?

    It was not just AMIGA.

    No, compressed with good ole lha. I can even pull this trick under unix.
