The untimely end to another fantastic hour of these gentlemen discussing laying the foundations of the modern internet age. Offhand mentioning that one other side projects turned into one of the most prominent transfer protocols in the world to more of the drama that pushed people out of fidonet and just laying the foundation for everything we take for granted today.
