  • Very Old Fido Messages

    From Mauro Veiga@4:801/194.2 to All on Thursday, February 18, 2021 13:56:29
    Hello.

    Is there any system online today with great retention of messages from
    Fido, like more than 15/20 years old messages downloadable by QWK?

    I am going to cautiously say probably not.

    Not QWK but apparently textfiles.com has an archive... I think.

    Textfiles.com is great, but doesn't have that. Only few historical
    messages.

    Thanks, Nick.
