In case you are a new user or feel that computers are of no interest
to you, you may not want to read this.  Otherwise, just pull up a chair
and watch the screen closely.

In my opinion, this BBS is essential to our understanding and develop-
ment of questionable worlds and their topics.  Many a day WE (the so
called students) take for granted the power we now obtain.  A BBS can
be whatever we want it to be, regardless of the way we react.  In many
cases they (the media) are punished because of their exclusive use
of presenting facts - enjoyable or unpleasant.  However, none of us
using this BBS are complaining about our success rate of talking to 
each other.

When I was a little kid, my folks bought we a walkie-talkie for Christ-
mas.  That Christmas morning, I woke up and played with this thing.
I was so amazed at how we could talk through one and the sound would
reflect from another.  Hours later on this same day, I went out to
visit other kids in the neighborhood.  To my surprise, I discovered
that 8/10 (eight out of ten) kids had a set to themselves.  I remember
walking through the forest that snowy morning listening to their 
conversations nearly half-a-mile away.  I was so estatic!  It freaked
my curiosity to the point where I started studying frequencies.  To 
add, not all of the units had the same type of range, yet up close -
it was a different story.

The moral of this short but sweet story is this:  YABBS bring out the 
best in us, whether we like it or not, so let's get this rad party
started!
