Then, there was RED ASPHALT, the movie that was pretty much just
teenaged kids in car wrecks to scare us straight.
I remember that "film". It was infamous. Probably tame by today's standards (like "Faces of Death"). --
Hey, Night Fox! It's been so long since I used a bbs. You always helped me with modding my board back in the day. I still have it, but I guarantee it would need a lot of work to bring it back to life. I ran Solomon's temple back in the day. Good to see you're still doing it. Send me your telnet address, please. I wouldn't mind hanging out on your board. I can't for the life of me remember the Telnet address! Thanks sir!

... Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your children.
1979-1983. I think the Radio Shack TRS-80 model 100 was out
around then
- was enamored with the idea of a journalist typing out a
story on one
and going into a phone booth to send your story to the
newsroom.
Try muffinterm. It's in the App Store and it works pretty
well. I tried to post a message earlier using it and it wouldn't
allow me to save it because the editor needs to use control key.
Most synchronet boards have a web client side/web page. You can use
that to send messages instead of using a terminal client. It's a
really nice feature. I am growing fond of it too!

My friends and I were all staying up late watching bad horror movies
after hours, so we thought it was all pretty cool.
... Disco is to music what Etch-A-Sketch is to art.
Who can forget, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or The Incredible Melting Man? Me, right after I saw them. Actuall I only saw 30 min. of Tomatoes; my brain just couldn't handle any more.

you can use the synchronet default internal editor (not fsedit) and use /sI found one, thanks a lot.
the bbs might have other editors that save the msg with /s or some other command

Hey Night_Spider, if you are stuck "calling" a BBS with an iphone or an ipad, check out the MuffinTerm app. It is a great ANSI capable terminal for iOS. Be sure to set your user config on each BBS to ANSI for best results. FYI, ANSI is the "graphics" standard that most BBS's support.
I'm not Night_Spider, but for me, a big factor that I think makes
BBSing on a smartphone difficult is the lack of a physical keyboard. I type a lot better on a physical keyboard. Also, hotkeys using Ctrl & things like that are a lot easier on a physical keyboard too.
:) Yep, I often see people say they'll never use that math, and some say they never have used it in their adult life, but you never know.. I doubt it would be better to get into a job or career where you might need it and only just start to learn it at that point.
I agree - EXCEPT - using 'speech to text' to ME is easier on a
phone. :-)

Not if your writing a program. Trust me, I've tried.
I'm trying to imagine controlling vi with speech to text.
Heh, I have enough trouble using Vi with my fingers. Notepad++ is my editor choice.
