Heh. Me too, although in my case it was with Acorn BBC Micros. I'm currently
involved in trying to get a BBC Micro bulletin board running in such a way
that it can be accessed from the 'Net. I may do the same thing with my Apple
][, as I suspect it might be easier.

If I do I'll let people here know.
