    Upload a picture of yourself, and the wizards at Microsoft who
    created this demo for their the day 2 keynote of Microsoft's
    Build2015 developer conference will tell you "how old you look". 
    
    Hey, this can be IMPORTANT for an old lady like me LOL...
    
    Thankfully, one pic I uploaded told me I looked 45 (yay Lol)..
    another one taken the same year was reported to me as looking
    39!  This reminds me of the good old days when I used to tell
    people I was 39 (in HEX).
    
    hehe
    
    Have fun with the site, and read about how the developers made
    this demo in the about page which links at the bottom of the
    page. :)

    New Feature?
    
    Hey, it would be great if other bbs systems sent in a history
    file like Daryl Stout has for this issue.  Send them in, I'll
    make sure they get printed here :)
    
    You can email them to me at janis@filegate.net, or netmail an
    attach to Janis Kracht, 1:261/38.

    Happy Birthday To The Thunderbolt BBS
    ==============================================
    
    By Daryl Stout, 1:19/33
    
    On May 1, 1992...on an 8088 XT computer, that was received as a
    birthday present just weeks earlier...The Thunderbolt BBS first came
    online.
    
    Running DOS 3.2, with 640K of RAM, with a 20 megabyte hard drive, a
    1200 baud modem, a monochrome green monitor, with a 3.5" and a 5.25"
    floppy drive, and running GT Power 15.50 -- I never dreamed it'd
    become what it is today.
    
    Each May, the BBS celebrates another year online. But, even though
    it was not up continuously during that time...due to hardware,
    software, weather, and other issues...the BBS has ended up being one
    of the last BBS's in Arkansas...and definitely the only Arkansas BBS
    now running Virtual Advanced BBS Software.
    
    A full history of the BBS can be found in the file TBHISTRY.ZIP --
    which can be downloaded from the Files Menu.  You can also find the
    bulletin in the System Bulletins area under the I)nformation Menu,
    under the text bulletins category (option B on that menu).
    
    I want to thank all the users and Sysops over the years, who have
    helped make the BBS what it is today.  A comprehensive bulletin of
    these users is in the file named DONATION.ZIP -- containing the
    BBS's Donations Policy (in short, they are VOLUNTARY...there is NO
    FEE to use the BBS (except for long distance charges to your
    ISP))...and of course, a list of these users who helped make the BBS
    what it is today.
    
    Lastly, I would be remiss if I failed to note, In Memoriam, my late
    wife and Co-Sysop, Janice E.H.  Stout -- who passed away April 27,
    2007...three weeks shy of our 4th wedding anniversary.  The BBS is
    lovingingly continued in her memory...she did so much for the BBS,
    in proofreading bulletins, as well as "being a challenge" in many of
    the doorgames, and overseeing the special message area for Ladies
    Only, The Beauty Shop.  Not a day goes by when I don't think of her.
    
    Here's to hoping that The Thunderbolt BBS is around for a long time.
    
    Daryl Stout, WX1DER, Sysop The Thunderbolt BBS (1:19/33)

                 and replying online, or downloading messages in qwk 
                 packets, but not uploading them, and file download 
                 access. SBBS files available.

    INFO:

    Where to Send Your Articles
    
    Unlike most editors, I surely do not  mind running my mouth
    when there is a sparsity of articles for the 'zine.  I'd
    MUCH rather you sent in material...  lacking that, I will
    fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and
    hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here
    :)
    
    Write an article!
    
    If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop
    your article off at:
    
    Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
     
    Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38
     Modem: 607-200-4076 
     Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 
     telnet mailer: filegate.net
    
    If you are using routed Fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed 
    attaches.  They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here.
    Send them instead direct to filegate.net.
       
    Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
    one and send it along!
    
    Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
    and mutilate it further as you can see above.  Linux is nice
    that way (g).  Spell checking your own work will help though
    (something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
     
    To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or
    netmail Janis as above.
    
    Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug:
      To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to:
          drdebug @  filegate.net 
      or post in the fidogazette echo!  :)
    
    To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your 
    listing to:
      bbslist @ filegate.net 
    or post it in the fidogazette echo!
