    What happened all of a sudden to the Anonymous Mailers? Then we get Synchronet Spammers selling drugs and whatnot. What will be next?

    It will be a global infestation of Murder Hornets, that
    specifically (and exclusively) go after SBBS Sysops.

    No telling. But, I have the -na command in the NNTP services entry
    to block anonymous entries (I think that's what it is...I do my QWK
    mail on a different computer than the BBS one).

    I looked into my magic crystal ball. Next will be an ANSI bomb that
    will wipe out any iOS device it is displayed upon.

    Years ago, there was a program called PKSFANSI -- it was made by
    PKWare, the same company that did PKZIP and PKUNZIP (the late Phil
    Katz did these). PK Safe ANSI was a TSR that prevented ANSI bombs
    from remapping your keyboard.

    I think I may still have it in my files area, but I don't know if
    it's valid on today's CPU's and OS's.

    If you can beat IOS for IPad then Apple will sue you for a trillion dollars. I wouldn't mess with Apple if I were you.

    Android tablets have been doing fairly well for quite a while. And in some markets, Android marketshare exceeds iOS:

    Apple hasn't sued any Android mobile device makers yet.. Personally I tend to use Android, but that's mainly what I'm used to. I used to have an iPod Touch a long time ago, but I got a smart phone (Android) and sold my iPod Touch.

    Lots of people jailbreak their iOS devices. all it does is void your warranty.

    And it lets you install apps from 3rd-party sources..
    I had an iPod Touch a long time ago (2008) and decided to jailbreak it. I had no regrets about it. I never had to get warranty service, so I was okay. I liked being able to install apps that weren't available in the Apple app store (and at the time, I seem to remember I had bought mine when there wasn't even an iOS app store yet, as many of the 3rd-party apps for it were web-based).

    Also, jailbreaking it allowed an SSH connection with command prompt access. I thought it would be interesting to try to build and run Synchronet on an iOS device.. I never tried that though.
