[net.micro.mac] Freesoft roundtable on GEnie

naftoli@aecom.UUCP (Robert N. Berlinger) (10/31/86)

Has anyone been succesful in gaining access to the Freesoft 
roundtable on GEnie??  I sent a letter to Scott Watson (SWATSON) 
as instructed almost two weeks ago (and several since) and have 
not been even honored with a response, never mind access to the 
roundtable.  

For someone who lives off of other peoples good nature, he sure 
isn't being very considerate -- *I* have to pay for the GEnie 
charges everytime I check for access.  

Red Ryder is great, but I'm wondering if I made a mistake and 
should have gone with something commercial.

The latest I have heard from the new assistant sysop on GEnie's FREESOFT
(personal friend of mine :-) is that Scott is furiously working on the
new Red Ryder 10.0 and Red Ryder Host 2.0, to the point of exhaustion.
This has set him back a little bit, but the new stuff is supposed to be 
the neatest thing since sliced bread!  The unfortunate result of all this
work however is that his presence on the board and his response to queries
has not been as prompt as he would like.  If the new RR is like the last
upgrades, it will be worth the wait!
