No it's not.  That was a great question asked my several others ... especially
not that Model "T's" being reborn, i.e. appreciated for their simple values.

The M100SIG on Compuserve may still hold value and CIS is still accessable at
300 baud.  If you choose to join CIS and enter the M100SIG, post a message to
Mile Nugent (I don't know his CIS number but that's easy to find).  Mike and I
are good friends and he, more than most, has a handle on Model "T" resources.

Again, good question.  Yes, I keep a ton of detailed info on each person so as
to reference for support, and no other reason, but records about their interest
is beyond the details.  I will tell you, however, that less than 5% of our
thousands of members program anything.  The biggest use of Model "T's" world
wide is writing ... just plane, old stick-in-the-mud, grunt-it-out, jot-it-down
... writing!!!  Oh yeah ... todo lists are big, too!! :)
