    The copy I have of OLX is REGISTERED to me...I don't think it (like
    most other legacy BBS software) is registerable anymore.

    Probably not. I did finally grab OLXTD and loaded DOS 6.22 in Parallels.
    The colors were great, but it just didn't 'grab me' like I expected it
    to, so I'm back to MM via Win7. Also easier to drag and drop the qwk &
    rep files (though now that I type this, no reason I can't map the download
    & upload folders to one place... hmm...).

    didn't want to be using that if lightning was around. And,
    thunderstorms in Arkansas are prolific lightning producers. Florida may dub itself as "the lightning capital of the world", but I'd say
    Arkansas is a close second.

    We lived in Marion for a few years... I remember thinking then that the
    storms may not have been "worse" than Northwest, Tennessee, but they were definately DIFFERENT before they crossed the river...

    Also, in TN, storms tend to happen late, LATE evening or middle of the
    night. I think you get more daylight storms?


    ... Shell to DOS... Come in DOS... Do you copy?

    Or another echo.

    The thing is, reading and replying via QWK Mail is so much easier, than with the regular echoes. As the Apostle Paul noted "Let all things be done decently, and in order". :)

    Unfortunately, no. Arkansas tends to get the brunt of its severe weather after dark. At one time, Arkansas was ranked #1 in the nation in killer tornadoes.

    Oh I agree! There a little delay, sometimes, but that's okay too. This
    is still more 'traditional.' :-)

    I always assumed earlier since they hit you before they get to me...

    If weather (thunderstorms) is an issue, or the internet is out, there's a delay in my processing messages. But, back to that verse, I am NOT going to argue with lightning...being that I'm a 2 time lightning strike survivor. However, I carry no electrical charge, and can be handled safely. :)

    Most storms move west to east, but sometimes, depending on the circulation of the storm system (especially from the remnants of a landfalling hurricane along the Gulf Coast), they move from east to west.

    I'm reminded of the cartoon, where you see planet Earth, the Throne of Almighty God, and this device (which looked like an oversize vacuum cleaner), with The Lord noting "Call Me 'Mother Nature' one more time...". :P

    I pray for His Protection from severe weather, having the faith that He heard me, and then leave it in His Hands.
