He seems to come through as a lot better now his new system is being
build: there's light at the end of the black hole!
Um... yeah... good simile... <G>
I still think that light is a train entering the tunnel. :P
And as I mentioned in yesterday's set of messages, apparently setting
up ILink on his computer let another batch out to here, from Apr
18th...
Yeah, the system crashed just after April 18...and didn't get back
up until just before June.
Last I mentioned anything he seemed to pretty much dismiss the
user-only aspect.
Not really surprising... From what I've seen, once a sysop, it gets
into one, and never lets go... ;)
That's right.

This is just too important to him really to let it go too easily...
and with other people pulling for him too there's encouragement to
continue... :)
Agree. LIS it's sort of the get knocked down, OK, enough is enough I
give up, ...no, I will not give up! and he comes back fighting.
Yup, the funk doesn't last too long....

do the repair. He powered up to test and the system would usually do
the automated BBS events -- he half-knew what they were/why occurring
but had to wait a few minutes for them to complete. I don't have any
auto-posts but could see where when Daryl was getting back on-line all
the missed events would trigger and so be uploaded.

is new if a flag/bit isn't set or recognized. ...I've had more than a
few times where my e-mail on Q.com (Qwest --> CenturyLink) has been re-re-re downloaded because of a change on their end. ...So a thousand and some messages later........

Hopefully not... just the sunlight at the end of the tunnel... :)
That's pretty much what I figured... and the May messages were done
while you were still pretty much down... Not a problem... they finally
all went out, and now things seem to be working for you again... :)
Yup... bad enough for us addicted users.... gotta be worse for a
sysop... <G>

I've had my hopes and dreams dashed so many times, it has gotten so
hard to be an optimist...even though I was part of the Optimist Club (youth sports) in south Florida. :P I was the equipment manager of the football team, and also worked the concession stand at games.

It really is. The hobbies of the BBS, ham radio, and square dancing
(the latter with publications and websites)...all via computer and the internet...are the only things keeping me sane.

Some have said "Out Of Trouble"...I'd grin wryly, and quip "Wanna
