After that it's on to the main
menu. There are four main sections
on the BBS: bulletins, databases,
files and messages. You can select
any of these areas.
The bulletins, for instance, are
short text files that are updated on a
regular basis, such as market reports
and news, as well as some
information items about FMBInet.
Many of the bulletins can be
downloaded onto your own computer
so your can read them at your leisure,
or have them printed off on your
printer.
The database section of the BBS
currently includes a listing of 750
software programs available for farm
management across North America
and another file on success stories in
rural community development. More
databases are expected to be added
soon.
The files section of the BBS
contains shareware computer
programs available for you to
transfer (download) to your own
computer to use in your farm
management, everything from word -
From press releases
to farm management
computer programs,
FMBInet offers plenty
of options
processing programs to Lotus 1-2-3
templates.
The messages centre is where you
can communicate with others on the
FMBInet in Ontario or across
Canada. There are interest areas or
echoes, including farm finance, crop
production, livestock production,
marketing, agrifood processing,
coast-to-coast chat, news releases
and netmail in which you can leave
your message. If you post a message
in an FMBInet echo, your message
will be repeated on all the FMBInet
bulletin boards across Canada. If you
ask a question about beef production
a producer in Nova Scolia or British
Columbia might have the answer for
you. The more people participate in
the BBS, the more chance there is
that someone has the solution to your
problem.
