Unfortunately, some people never learn, and they are the ones beyond
help, charlie happens to be one of them. It would be like me calling
brain surgery tech support and saying I got the skull cap off, now
what??

Build a base skill set, then try to do advanced things....

Everything seems simple when your knowledge about it is so superficial
that you have no idea how deep it goes. Also, it's easy to feel
something to be simple when you know you can always rely on someone's
help (at his or her cost). (_I_ can fix a broken car, too. I mean, in
theory. I mean, I have a friend at a car repair shop.) And, anyway,
what's the point of doing something if it's simple? The point of it is
NOT being simple: that - supposedly! - makes you learn something.

I'm surprised that you're surprised about the reaction; I thought you
got used to it long ago. Perhaps, you're surrounded by too many too
helpful people whom you can exploit...

<lol> Contribute to what: your crusade of setting up a BBS in about
ten times as much time than it would take for someone who has the
slightest idea about it?! Also, what can _you_ contribute to the
community to justify the the community's lending a helping hand every
half a day?

That's WHY I was setting up my BBS in the first place (to
contribute). But nevermind...

No,… you got better than attitudes. You got some sincere attempts to
help. Maybe you ignored them, and that's the reason you couldn't solve
the problem(s).

I'm traveling again for the weekend, but when I get home,
I can try it out. I still have yet to dial-up Andrew Wiskow's
BBS and now yours. Must remember... must remember.

But the C128DCR waits patiently, :-)
