I was the same way.. I loved logging into WC boards as a user, but had
already committed to the Commodore BBS world. When I became the Co-SysOp of
my User Groups BBS which ran WC! I jumped at it.. Not knowing anything about
the software or for that matter a PC, the SysOp gave me the manual to WC3. I
read that thing cover to cover so many times I could do anything with it..
BUt what could I do remotely? He then said you know this stuff better then
me, so here take the software. He gave me the original disks. I couldn't do
much with them when he gave them to me.. When I finally bought a PC I loaded
up the software and played and played, but since he was still running it for
the user Group I never put it online. Besides, I was running an Amiga board
by this time. When Win95 came out and WC5 was released Santronics did the
unthinkable, they sold it for a rediculously low price and I bought.. Now? I
can't see spending $300 for something that I can do with a free BBS software.
Mystic might not be fully done, but SynchroNet is and I run that software
also.. Oh well.. I still love WC! I just may put up that old DOS board sooner
or later..
