Spelling, Edvardus,

Hit verks!

Two completely different BBS systems.  I got given the 1:117/100 HUB when it 
was abandoned.  It was all in different systems and I could not get Intermail 
out of the pile for OS/2.  It happened to be all on a stack of small SCSI hard 
drives, one per partition.  I only had about two weeks to either do or die. So 
I simply took hard disk space and carved it all up out on one drive and cloned 
it all onto there.

The entire HUB runs totally separate and apart from the 3001 setup, separate 
phone lines and OS/2 sessions.  As soon as I can get Intermail for OS/2 from 
Dale down in Sugarland now, I'll merge it all.  But for now, oh well!

Bumble bees are interesting.  Two arrived in unison in formation to fill up at 
an Exxon station, hovering near the pumps.  One was at the regular pump. The 
other was at the extra pump! Both were chanting in unison, "Fill us up! Fill us 
up!"  The attendant scratched his head, jammed the nozzle in each bee and set 
off wiping the feelers of the one at the regular pump.

He asked, "You know, I don't understand!  You look alike, you buzz alike, you 
are both sinking as you take on fuel!  But what's the difference?"

The bee turned to him and said, "Well, confidentially, I'm a regular bee and 
he's an Esso Bee!"

Not anything at all personal here .. just in complete humor, OK?  Some 
networking problems are like this!  They look alike, they buzz alike, they toss 
around alike in the dark, but are just heck to find!

   GDRFC!

   
--> Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)
