Boy you said a mouthful.  Now there's a name I remember from the real old 
days.  Not Fidonet.  A small, similar BBS net called Uni'Net back when 
Usenet was a pup.  This was my first exposure to bulletin boards.  This 
was before I knew there was anybody cool on a computer.  I was bored and 
had no life and I bought a 2400 baud internal modem and stayed late after 
work one night and put it inside my 8088.  Was I proud when I actually 
managed to call a board.  I stayed all night at work every night reading
this Uni'Net.  It was a whole net full o' Matts.  I didn't know it at the 
time.  The board I had connected to was a board-like-that.  I finally 
figured it out.  Then I went on to Fido.  Whee!!!!!!  I still miss my 
XT and my Silly Little Message Reader and my Taglines and I sure remember 
the name Matt Giwer.  There are a few other choice names I remember from 
that net too.  I haven't called a regular old-fashioned BBS in years, but 
I bet they're still at it.  I even had a few emails from Giwer.  I can't 
*believe* I read and posted on that net now that I know it was only a 
small net filled with guys like Matt and that's not the only people out there
ha ha.  Like I said, this was a long time ago and I was all on my own 
and first people I found my way to was a net full 'o' Matts but boy does 
that name bring back memories!
