Great read! Ahh, the good ole days! I remember starting my first BBS in
1983, I believe it was RBBS on a 180K 5.25" floppy...
Ahhh, RBBS - One of the original "Social Networking" "GroupWare" software
which allows you to create "sub-sections" per group of users catering to
similar interest <g>
Actually, I think it was called "RBBS-PC" and the sub-sections, or
message boards, were actually called "Conferences" or was that
PCBoard... Shoot, I think I ran them all including one called World War
Four and Wildcat! I remember FidoNet getting so big that we used to pull
the feeds off a 19.2k satellite dish. Then of course came the "USENET"
feeds... The "Internet" became, I think, every BBS SysOp's dream.
Unlimited callers, I mean connections, no more banks of modems and
dozens of phone lines... God, that stuff was fun!
