Board - not bored...
It's fair to guess we Amphi owners are not
of the Nintendo generation. However some
of our younger friends and perhaps children
are. Our schools now downloaded data into
student skulls like a merry-go-round of trash
compactors. Most of these young people can
endure the fact that Cyberspace is just some
privately-owned unreal-estate. However some
of these youthful individuals become hackers or
digital pirates and some hackers have learned to
steal, and some thieves have learned to hack...
but I digress. Whether you are of the Nintendo
generation or a Hippie, Yippie, Gen-X'er, Baby
Boomer, or a Depression Era Contemporary -
you have managed to overcome the phobia of
the Internet and join onto this Amphi-Lovers
Bulletin Board (ABB). Congratulations and
welcome! Also a hearty "THANK YOU" to
the sysop(s) (systems operators & administrators)
who devote countless hours to maintaining this
FREE forum for our benefit and enjoyment.
Unsung heros if there ever were any (our prez.
Marc S., the board of directors and specifically
Bilgemaster), some of which we don't even
know and still others yet to be recognized.
Praise and honors for the sysop aside, it is we,
the users of the ABB that make it an asset to
our organization. It goes without saying, but
I'll say it anyway - the posting of technical tips
have saved us all many hours of experimentation
and expen$e. The issues of insurance, lubricants,
leaks, brakes, steering, and body work have been
well documented and archived for all to reference.
The stories of fellow Amphicar owner adventures,
our joys and triumphs and even our occasional
mishaps are also most worthy of sharing. I can
think of few things sadder than a formerly
flourishing bulletin board where no one posts
any longer, and the dead conversations of vanished
users lie about gathering digital dust. It's important
that you not only read from the ABB, but that you
also contribute by submitting your technical tips,
discoveries, stories, and perspectives.
We all learn, we all benefit.
United we float - divided we sink.
