Yeah, I understand that chat BBS systems were the first, and usually local because of the phone charges. Also, some of the old farts around here were involved with those early systems.
Now Mouse has adapted the old system to work on the internet, which was probably a software nightmare. Certainly a feather in his cap to have been able to accomplish that successfully.
I don't want to disparage his accomplishment but I wonder why? Other than for shits & giggles, why he'd go to all that trouble, with all the store-bought internet chat software available?
I have to assume he saw it as a challenge and did it,
because it wasn't there.
