... if you don't remember FidoNet, here's why I think so:

1) Multiple different implementations of the interoperable software

Now witness the power of this fully armed and operational PicoGlitcher.

(Not my project, just an early adopter)

Second build, this one for an old friend who after many years in the wilderness is back in the field.

Really nifty little thing for voltage fault […]

Not having an STNICCC in 2025 was a mistake :( These will not survive until 2032 ...

#atarist
A white mug featuring a graphic of a colorful design with the text "STNICCC 2015." The mug is being held in a person's hand, with a blurred background showing a tiled floor. The graphic is rough around the edges from wear. A close-up of a wrinkled black t-shirt with the same graphic design as on the mug, featuring small holes and fuzz.

This can be changed in "Other settings" […]
