But it seems like information of Facebook isn't really searchable. My Apple II goto are CSA2 and CSA2PROGRAMMER. For one, I can read and post from my IIgs, which I really enjoy, and two, Google Groups (despite its spam) is searchable. I can later (on a modern PC) search these groups for previous entries like "How to move the @ sign?" and get back into it, sometimes years later. I also enjoy the Apple II telnet sites. Captains Quarters is great. A few years ago I used to really get into A80SAPPLEIIBBS but unfortunately that site disappeared. It was a great site. It's always interesting to see someone from the CSA2 groups on the telnet sites. I guess my big kick comes from connecting with an Apple II, asking a question about the software I'm using, and having the author of that software reply, which I can then read on my Apple II! So, usenet and telnet sites for me. Social media just doesn't tick the right boxes. Just my views, thanks for reading, Matt
