Lettuce to the Editor Area: Fidonet Matr Date: 04-04-94 19:27 (Private) From: Bob Dunlap (1:226/600.3) To: Lettuce (1:261/1129) Subject: network mci Hey, what's up with those "Network MCI" commercials? Are they part MCI's attempt to take over the world? Or are you guys at VaporWare really behind all of it? You can tell us.... :) bob - - - - - - - - Bob, MCI is too late. Microsoft, AT&T, and Apple got together in a garage in Klamath Falls, Oregon last Wednesday and conquered the world. After they divided the spoils, Microsoft ended up with everything North of San Francisco, AT&T had everything South of San Diego, and those shrewd negotiators from Apple ended up with Toledo. Luther Lecks, who kindly provided the forms and the refreshments for the negotiations, somehow ended up with the rest of the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The RAH staff didn't even get a raise.

Dave, In my hunger for the latest issue of RAH, instead of waiting for my local BBS to post it, I thought, what the hell - call the Puffy Nest and get it my self. *WRONG* After several calls (probably around eight bucks in long distance charges) I flat out gave up. Tried several protocols - nothing happened. System locked up on me and forced a hang up to get me out of it. Live and learn, only I didn't learn anything. Any ideas about why I couldn't d/l the file??? jim.maher@toltbbs.com - - - - - - - - Jim, I'm not sure what to tell you. There have been no problems reported by any TPN users lately, and I haven't personally seen anything weird. Perhaps if you could give me more details (or at least spell the name of the BBS correctly). Another thing, it is better to address BBS tech support questions to Dave Bealer, rather than to Lettuce. I may not get around to reading Lettuce messages until days or weeks later, when the next issue of RAH is being assembled. Sorry for any inconvenience.
