  • Alive?

    From deepthaw@80:774/22 to All on Sun Feb 2 21:10:39 2020
    Is this still alive?

    I just got an Apple IIe, been upgrading it and getting it online.

    I believe just not many messages have been exchanged. Plus, depending upon what software was being run, boards running Mystic BBS software had a 2020
    year bug that was dumping posts.

    That "bug" had a workaround, however Sysops had to determine why traffic went to 0 and then generally go to another BBS to read the message threads.

    Nice. I also have an old Apple II that I'd like to get going again. :)

    I'm glad I never ran message maintenance on my Mystic system, so the y2020 bug didn't strike me. :)

    Is this still alive?

    Yes

    I just got an Apple IIe, been upgrading it and getting it online.

    Online via serial? Ethernet?
    How exactly?
