- Firstly, please excuse me in that I dont know what RTFM means, but the context
- of the sentence gives me an idea. Secondly, are you a USER of SL or a SYSOP?
- There are big differences in the 2 perspectives. From a user's standpoint
- its not so bad. The ansi menu system is a Good Thing. But if youve ever
- tried to run an SL board, you would see just how incredibly poor a piece
- of software it is from the sysop's perspective. Right down to the fact
- that when you order it on 1.44M 3.5" disk, you get a 720K disk that has been
- punched to allow it to be formatted to 1.44M. For the goddamn $100+ it
- costs, I think youre entitled to a real HD disk.
- I will further expound on the reasons SL sucks if you really want me to.
