I remember entropy! You're right. One day, the universe will be as messed up as we are. Perhaps, one of the reasons that a BBS is confusing for folks is that it is organized and structured, vs. being random, messed up, yet somehow connected (entropy). If someone were to write a BBS program that organized things in a natural way, then BBS use would be much easier. There would be no menus, just a prompt. Any command or word or question from the prompt brings all related information. Any message left would automatically be linked to all other appropriate information. Example: Key in ... "What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything" ... and you get back ... 42, a Model 100 that doesn't cold boot!, pizza, running out of deposit receipts before running out of checks, Octoberfest! -Rick-
