    Ahh, the days of UUCP ;) I used Waffle back then.

    Good old UUCP and waffle! You sent a message, not knowing if there was
    a route defined, unless you knew the damn route it should take.

    I ran a Waffle 1.64 back in the mid 90s.
    I think I called it "Rational Mystics BBS" or
    something. It was the best way I could get
    Usenet newsgroups and my own functional
    email address that didn't depend upon
    other people's servers, rules and such.

    My users was unhappy though: They wanted me
    to bring back FREE SPEECH (which was one of
    my most popular BBS' - the Free Speech software
    was great 'cause it was so anarchistic) or
    Pyroto Mountain.

    Last year, today in fact, I kept an ancient
    promise to a friend that "I'll start up
    Pyroto Mountain again someday", dated from
    1997... and I did it through DOSbox and stuff.

    He logged in, played it for a bit and couldn't
    be happier.

    Full circle. It was cool.

    Anyway, I digressed. Never one for on topic.

    I *loved* Pyroto Mountain!
