I remember WAFFLE! Loved it. My first introduction to the architecture
of email and Usenet News. Couldn't help learning a lot of stuff that
came in handy when I encountered Unix soon after. Never had much
interest in the whole bulletin-board stuff. But WAFFLE (and my trusty
Telebit Worldblazer modem) served me email and News for many years.

Thanks for the memories!
