    Well, here's me in action on the fire track from a few years ago - I'm a bit faster these days. :)

    Wow - now that's some cool stuff! Sharing this with my wife - she's
    an EMT mainly, but also a volunteer firefighter...


    ... It beeped and said "Countdown initiated". Is that bad?

    Thanks, we love the sport, it's very precise to run and very rewarding, as well as being _very_ physical I get all the easy jobs like pulling the cart and climbing the ladder! :D Just had our state championships last weekend, which is as big as the competitions get. That's a 3 day meet. Finished with 2 thirds and a 4th myself, and 4 from our team won an event. :)

    Yeah, I loved Bluewave until Y2K kinda killed it. :( Wish the BBS author

    would add support for it, because it was an excellent offline format. Yo

    can still download the specs for it today. Standardised netmail format a
    d
    longer subject lines were just two of its advantages. :)

    QWKE (supported by Synchronet) has those same advantages. I'm not sure how m ny
    offline readers support it though. It is backwards compatible with QWK, so i

    has that advantage over Bluewave.

    Wildcat! Interactive Net Server supports it as well, as does OLX for
    Windows I believe.
