You're welcome, Sean. I just hope I don't end up doing this alone.

I think we'd have to focus specifically on the SIGs on the major
services, like AOL or what it used to be prior to that, CompuServe,
GEnie, Delphi...
Each of those was run by someone... a usergroup? Or in GEnie's and
Delphi's case, A2Central.

I got started with modemming with ProLine, and reading the
comp.sys.apple feed. I don't know whether to induct that whole network
of BBS's, or just Morgan Davis. B-{)
In any case, this should be a group effort. B-{)
