    I was wondering how many of those on this message base have played with or
    used winlink? If you have what are your thoughts on it?

    ... My reality check just bounced

    Thoughts? It's cool as heck, but pretty restrictive and makes you jump through some hoops to use. When I leave my radio on the local packet freq, I see people using it daily. I tried it once but forgot my password and had to wait three months or whatever for the account to expire.

    I'd say check it out if you have some kind of use for casual email without a bunch of personal information in it.

    There was no password recovery procedure?

    Not if you don't set one :). It was my own fault.
