Device to reset power...

I take it the software didn't hold files open. *My* old BBS software
opened and closed files as needed, and was slightly slower than my friends
software (my evil competitor at the time) which opened all the files on
startup and kept them open.

Can you say file corruption? Sure you can... and *HE* was the
professional programmer... (:

Take Care,

Mark
