     Coming from Des Moines (the Spitfire Hq of the world) I can tell you 
that Spitfire really isn't all that great.  About 75% of the boards up 
here are Spitfire (could have something to do with the author living in 
Des Moines) and they all look the same.  A friend ran a Spitfire board 
for a few years and all you could change was the menus and commands.  
Other than that, every Spitfire board looks the same.  Now VBBS, WWIV, 
and Waffle on the other hand have the source code available to registered 
users.  
 
     And what about the networks?  I know Spitfire can carry a few Rime, 
etc...(Whatever happened to that Spitfire network?) and I know some kid 
is trying to start a "Midwestern Mail Network" for Spitfire only BBS' up 
here, but what about other than that??  To run multiple nodes with 
Spitfire you have to have multiple copies of it....  I don't know, a lot 
of the people are dying for a change up here, but other than that I guess 
we have to put up with a bunch of Spitfire boards...:(
