I just want something I can post on

[quote="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote="Jack Straw"]how about the exact same format excluding people from california?

i really think that's the best option.[/quote]

He's moving to western New York before the end of the year, by the way.[/quote]

the zebra mussels CANNOT wait.

[quote="Ice Cream Jonsey"]At the same time, I have heard amazing things about WWIV. How about some WWIV, narmean? World War 4, baby![/quote]

Oohhhhhh..... I always thought that stood for "World Wide Intra Venous"

[quote="bruce"]What comes next for Jolt Country? I've been doing a little research. Myself, I'd favor an old-fashioned Waffle BBS.[/quote]

Not knowing what a Waffle BBS is, it naturally brought form feelings of both fear and hatred. Reading the link you sent me in e-mail, it looks like it nicely integrated with Usenet. Is that something people [i]want?[/i] To be able to anonymously slag other Usenet cretins through a handy -- well, sure, I'd be in favor of that.

At the same time, I need something I can vaguely administer. This is why I am reluctant to emulate an Apple computer somewhere on the net: I honestly couldn't get the thing into BASIC. My brother and I went to computer camp when we were little. He got the Atari 400 and I got the Apple II. I don't know if either one of us remembers anything there, except for the fact that all the games had more colors than the computer we eventually got.

And Colorado. And New York. This could work!

However, you could also go with Linux and one of several BBSes. pbbs would be good.

The TRULY HARDCORE option would be an emulated Apple ][ with Ascii Express Pro set up in server mode. Multiline? Fuck that shit.

The INSANELY HARDCORE would be a REAL Apple ][ with AE Pro (or, better still, AE2) and a modem. If someone will pay for an additional phone line I'll DO this. But...I'll only do it until the Apple falls over, which would probably be, like, a week.
