Log's a holdover from CP/M days gone by.

Big city?  Yeah, right.  We have to go outside and reverse the phone
lines to make an outgoing call.  Anyhoo, it's nice seeing you're
still around.  I'm going to make a dent in these DOS boys, yet. I
already have one chap installing linux and playing around with
unix on 'bigger iron'.  I've got Waffle up and running under ULTRIX
and things weren't that bad.  There's a dozen or so Waffle Irons
down here and the Word's spreading like maple syrup.  Now to get
rfmail installed and let the Usenet hounds see what Fightonet
has to offer.
