Well that blows.

A few minor issues, I guess, but overall a great success. It's amazing we've discussed so much and shared so much information, links, etc. I'm proud of it, and I assume you'll agree.

Well, I'm not that surprised, esp. as you have a new baby and all. And yes, things change. Of course it's your decision, and we have no choice, but indeed I can't help but respect your (successful) efforts over the years.

I wish you well in whatever you do in the future. (I know that doesn't mean much coming from me, but ....)

There are still newsgroups and some other random forums (e.g. FASM), so we'll live. Too bad, though, it was indeed a nice little forum.

Whew, not a lot of time!!! Sadly, I truly can't help migrate or host myself else I probably would. Yes, keeping the archive of information available would be nice for posterity, but I guess it's not totally critical.

Thanks again for your efforts over the years. Hope all goes well for you and yours. If anyone ever says "DOS is dead" (as they probably will), I'll fondly remember this forum and all its brilliant geeks.
