    An essay on why life is all about humour..

    [...]

    What do you think? Was it funny?
    If so, haha, or ironically?
    If not, why not?

    Wow. You covered a lot of different topics. This was almost like a manifesto. :D. A lot to process.

    Btw your text had some chars that did not convert properly in Aftershock.

    ... and from there leads its own life, pretty good distribution and usage.

    Aftershock is a very interesting product, certainly for point-operators, even on smartphone. I've used and still have it active on a tablet (which I haven't looked at since 2019)...

    Aftershock is a fido (ftn) points app for Android.

    Sometimes the convenience checking / reading / replying to echos on my smartphone is quite nice.

    I like the idea that fidonet can be on a small device with me instead of limiting it to a desktop or laptop at home.

    Haven't seen/heard of an equivalent for iPhone users... Do you know of
    one?

    I'd be surprized Apple would allow such an app.

    But feel free to ask Rudi Timmermans @ 2:292/140, I think he coocked something uo which does the trick ...

    Nice! Does he have an iPhone version? I'd like to get Fido on my mobile. . .

    Be a great way to breathe new life into the net!

    You can use Newstap on a iPhone and connect to any BBS that supports NNTP & fidonet.

    The lite version is free.

    I'd love it, but no iOS version; I netmailed the developer -- no reply yet. .

    That would be convenient!
