Well I was but got tired of paying all that elect for 1 or -1 calls / day..

I thought it was a neat system- the only apple // system in the world for
the last 6 years to be on fido/usenet.. but oh well.. i still have it
sitting here next to the pc- about to take all the apple stuff (3) and stack
in closet i guess..

Right now, im running a game server where i get 100-200 connections / hr..
