Subj: REPLY TO MSG #2950 (DOWNLOAD/CSIS?)

I rambled a bit in the last message. Since I try to plan out what I do on the
pay services (and my long distance bill!), I judge messages by topics of
interest. I'm a technical guy and look for programming tips, hardware topics,
and software I don't want to write myself. I skip the everyday chit-chat, won't
pay to play games, and never go into chat mode (except on regular BBSs -- I'm
an ex-sysop and always enjoyed chat). There are overwhelm factors. In the
beginning, the GEnie page numbers bothered me (and still can). I prefer the CI$
keyword jump. The sheer size can scare people. I have an idea of where the cats
eyes are now, but a few years of those black marbles are in my past, too.
