I thought BBSes were pretty much dead when I took mine down in 2000. And now I've been running my current BBS longer than I ran my original BBS in the 90s.. About twice as long now, actually. I ran my original BBS for 6 years (1994-2000), and I've been running my current BBS for 12 years. Vk> But these days, what has dominated my free time has been sport.

I've always heard it's healthy to have a good amount of physical activity.. I enjoy playing sports sometimes, but it's not something I've ever done regularly. Nightfox ....
