Who can forget, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or The Incredible Melting Man? Me, right after I saw them. Actuall I only saw 30 min. of Tomatoes; my brain just couldn't handle any more.

A Lesson in Cult Cinema, This IsForgotten them, have you? Hmmm. Clouded your memory is, by expectations of "quality."Judge them by their budget, do you? And well you should not. For my ally is the Cheese, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us... and melts us.Thirty minutes only? Impatient you are. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. But serious, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is not. To the absurdity, open your mind you must.The Melting Man: Gooey he is, yes. Disturbing, perhaps. But look past the slime, you must, to see the art of the B-movie.The Tomatoes: Laugh, you did not? Too much logic, you seek. Unlearn what you have learned about "good" acting.Weak is the mind that cannot handle the fruit of doom. If into the security recordings you go, only 30 minutes you will find... and failure. Watch the end, you must!

Try muffinterm. It's in the App Store and it works pretty
well. I tried to post a message earlier using it and it wouldn't
allow me to save it because the editor needs to use control key.
Most synchronet boards have a web client side/web page. You can use
that to send messages instead of using a terminal client. It's a
really nice feature. I am growing fond of it too!

you can use the synchronet default internal editor (not fsedit) and use /s

the bbs might have other editors that save the msg with /s or some other command

I found one, thanks a lot.

Hey Night_Spider, if you are stuck "calling" a BBS with an iphone or an ipad, check out the MuffinTerm app. It is a great ANSI capable terminal for iOS. Be sure to set your user config on each BBS to ANSI for best results. FYI, ANSI is the "graphics" standard that most BBS's support.

I'm not Night_Spider, but for me, a big factor that I think makes
BBSing on a smartphone difficult is the lack of a physical keyboard. I type a lot better on a physical keyboard. Also, hotkeys using Ctrl & things like that are a lot easier on a physical keyboard too.

I agree - EXCEPT - using 'speech to text' to ME is easier on a
phone. :-)

:) Yep, I often see people say they'll never use that math, and some say they never have used it in their adult life, but you never know.. I doubt it would be better to get into a job or career where you might need it and only just start to learn it at that point.

Math can also be a head fake in learning logic and learning how to learn.

Not if your writing a program. Trust me, I've tried.

I'm trying to imagine controlling vi with speech to text.

Heh, I have enough trouble using Vi with my fingers. Notepad++ is my editor of choice.

Have you tried Sublime editor? They try to sell you a paid one, but there's a free version.

Also Geany is decent in Linux.

I like an editor called AkelPad, but for some reason when I install it
at work it makes CrowdStrike go crazy. My infosec team would quarantine
my laptop, I'd get a call from them, they'd look at it, OK it and let me
back on the network. Never bothered to whitelist it, though. :(

It's clean looking but has inline line numbers, which I like. It can do multiple tabs as well. The new Windows 11 Notepad probably does
everything I need now.
