    NEWS: SYSOPS BEWARE of "CHEESE BURGER" : ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    The following may not specifically address matters of future FTN technology or developement, but it is kind of like a new development sort of thing that has emerged in recent weeks.

    CHEESE BURGER is your comedic host as he visits random BBSes out there.

    SOME KIND OF B.B.S. REVIEW TYPE THING

    Some cussing abounds but it seems to be justified. ;)

    Heads-Up :: The audio quality of the earlier vids is a bit over saturated (he speaks
    too close to the mic), but there is modest improvement in the more recent
    ones.

    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
    Additional commentary from the FUTURE4FIDO Roving Reporter: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    By seeing examples of retro BBS installations and implementations of current popular BBS software, we are either saddened at the current state of affairs in
    BBS-land or we are inspired to make a contribution for a better future of the hobby, or we are simply being entertained.

    But sysops be warned. Something Cheese Burger sort of thing may come your way.
    And, you may never pronounce BBS, Sysop, PCBoard, WWIV, CPU and many other terms of the hobby the same conventional sort of way ever again.
