Rogers Cadenhead reminds us of our BBS days...

This month marks the 25th birthday of the bulletin board system, the old-school online network invented by Ward Christensen and Randy Suess.
As someone who began using a BBS in 1981 and claims to have invented the BBS door game, I could inflict all kinds of punishing remembrances.
You kids today got it good. Back then we transmitted our data over acoustic modems at 300 bits per second. And we were grateful!

Ah...to be young and foolish!  I remember running my BBS out of my parent's garage (what computer geek didn't live in their parent's garage?).  I was doing contract programming on Windows 3.1, back when Hello World! was 93 lines of C and SDK code.  I started out running Wildcat BBS software and a pile of door games (thanks Rogers!)  I multi-tasked with the help of QEMM and Desqview.  Then I moved up to OS/2 and a Digiboard.  At the peak of Tweak Computer Support BBS we were running multiple lines happily on a single 486 with 8 megs.  I started at 1200bps, but when it ended, I think I was just looking at a sweet new USR 9600 v.Everything.

Rogers:  You might take a look at http://www.telery.com/, they let you play classic BBS Door Games on the 21st century 'Net!  GO Tradewars!

Some folks have noticed that Stored Procedure Debugging was not working after applying SP3 to SQL Server 2000.  If you run into this, the trick is to call

This is a new security switch that was added in SP3 and only affects App Debugging.  Also, note that the setting doesn't stick, and you'll need to call it each time you start up the SQL 2K Server.
