I'm chuckling because I remember when I was a noob calling BBSes (about age 
ten) and the older guys telling me about "Q-Bert" as a "/q" would do an abrupt
logoff on one particular system... not sure if it was Telegard or Renegade, 
but some of those guys eventually convinced me to use that software when I 
opened my first BBS a while after that. 

I wonder if there really were no AOL but still Windows 95 what would have 
happened.  I've always blamed both of them, but I never considered Win95 w/out
AOL.

... I think I'll wait for the 80986.
