In college, I had a '77 VW Rabbit diesel. With 4 people inside, it'd
cruise at 62 miles an hour all day long - at about 48 mpg. Diesel back
then was around $1.19/gallon...

I knew 2 others who had newer VW diesels and they refused to trade them in on anything because of the same reason : fuel mileage

The joys of remaining away from the bleeding edge, I suppose.

I have a certain affinity for "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Oddly enough my copy/paste problem seems to be related to what SyncTerm is connected to. It steadfastly refuses both operations when connected to Synchro systems. Most other systems it works just fine with.

Probably because you have mouse-input enabled on the BBS. Either disable mouse support in the BBS's terminal configuration (for your user account) or copy from the scrollback buffer (hit Alt-B first).

What I find curious, is the "dial-up" entries were created at the same time, they are all using default values save the name and the addresses yet its only the Synchro systems that refuse copy/paste. While I can copy from the scrollback buffer and paste to other applications, it still won't paste back to the terminal.

It's the BBS you're connecting to that's the difference, not the "entries" in your SyncTERM dialing list. When logged into a Synchronet BBS, turn off "mouse" support in your user default configuration / terminal settings and you'll be good to go.
