I was wondering what happened to everyone. :)
I have been using my Atari 800 (and 800xl) for the 18 of the 19 days
so far (I used my Duo 280c once...) Checking E-mail via local BBS's,
telnetted out to E-bay and changed my yahoo group settings once. This
has been a fun month, and I might just have to keep using my setup now
that I am getting used to living like this. :)
Also keeping up with home finances, and had hours of fun with Wizard
of War and Archon. :D
I've also had more time to get involved with some retro/Atari chat
rooms. If you care to join, I could give directions on how to get to
tonight's chat.

Got my Mac Plus set up and running email pretty smoothly. Eudora
got hung up last week when my sister tried to send me a 37 page paper
she
wanted me to look at. I thought I had crashed. So I Cheated and accessed
my
account via mail2web.com on a non-qualifying machine. Iguess I should
have
warned her or been a bit more patient during the download...
It's been a lot of fun accessing the conferences on
cyberspace.org
by way of telnet. I'm renewing some old aquaintances which I had
unfortunately allowed to grow cold. Some of those great folks are still
there, and I hadn't realized how I'd missed them. The connection gets a
little cranky sometimes, but really it works pretty well, considering.
I'm still having trouble with Fetch 2.1.2. The program seems to
work okay, I can make connections with some sites, but haven't been able
to
download anything so far. The sites thaT I can open and get a file list
from don't have anything I really want. And curses to Apple for closing
down their FTP site. I have successfully downloaded their redirect
script,
sending me to an http site, but I can't do http with System 6.0.8.
I think it's possible to do it via telnet and using Lynx on the
cyberspace connection, but it looks like I'd have to run around the barn
several times to do it. Anybody got any FTP addresses with old mac
software? there are some things I'd like to have, and anyhow there's the
points to think about.
A good day to all,
