Hello,

After a crash awhile back, I'm noticing that certain ANSI files show up as
nothing but colored hashtags. The Synchronet Logo being one of them and then my
Avatars. Not sure what is happening....

.... BBS?? Yeah, I do BBS...but, I can control it.

MR> what is 'a crash' ?
System went down. Motherboard failure.
