      From: bje@e4500.ripco.com              I dunno who all still subscribes to this newsgroup but wanted to pass along       the info that the guy making the bbs documentary appears to be done and       shipping the product.              Just mentioning it because Frank LaRosa is in a few peices of it, nothing       earth shattering but you can tell those cons boardwatch used to have left a       bad taste with him.              The whole thing is interesting to watch, and incredibly boring at the same       time (probably 6-7 hours with all the bonus clips. Best taken in small bits.              I think there was way too much time spent with the ascii-art and fidonet       aspects, but is just my opinion.              Keep an eye out for it if you don't want to spend the $50, seen it on some       of the alt.binaries.* and bit-torrent systems. Only warning (besides the       obvious) is none of them are complete. Each dvd (there are 3 of them) have 2       or 3 chapters and a bonus area. Disc 3 has both plus "1000's of still       images" that are supposed to be read via dvd-rom drive. Alot of the uploads       are just the 8 main chapters, no bonus material or stills, some have all 8       chapters with the bonus material from each disc in a single avi file. Even       the full 4.5 gig images are missing the pix from disc 3.              Or just spend the $50 and waste a friday night with a marathon.              -bruce       bje@ripco.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
