The struggle to keep the BBS/computer running was the fun part I still remember those days. Computers kits and hardware shows. I wonder how
much money we have spent on these things over the years?
My first computer was a trs 80 coco 2 with 16k ram and cassette tape
For me, the fpart of the fun of BBSing was the challenge of getting a
BBS package, a mailer, a tosser, a nodelist utility, a file tosser, file announcer, disk defragmentation and scheduled BBS ads on several
networked subboards working - all through a batch file on an old DOS box in the corner.

If it's given you joy and continues to do so, why worry about the cost in dollars?
There are plenty of ways to spend $$ to make ones self happy, at least this particular vice keeps your brain in good working order.
I hear this. I spent way too much time this morning battling with sed & awk which is a good way to learn more about/become more comfortable with them. Still haven't figured out the problem as of yet, but that's part
of the fun.

That's another reason I set up the OBV/2 board, I still have a ton of work to do with it, But at least I got this part of it up and running correctly! That took a lot of research and help from Jack Plash and Paulies file archive!

We do tend to remove them in favor of python scripts once things get a
bit complicated to make maintenance a bit easier.... bash/sh scripts
using sed & awk expressions can grow over time to take on a life all of their own!
My first computer was a trs 80 coco 2 with 16k ram and cassette tapeSame here! I had it for about a week! Returned it and got a Tandy 1000HX. Went from cassette tape to 3.5" floppy. Man, I thought that was a lot of storage.

I run a couple of wordpress blogs and a static blog created with a BASH script. Guess which one strikes my fancy more? :)

You should check out Cloudflare Pages and Workers if you like that. It would be right up your alley. I have several websites now that have ditched the nonsense, bloated frameworks and went back to static builds thanks to Cloudflare pages.
