Hey Guys --

I was looking through my closet of old computer parts and junk, and I ran 
across a little brown file.  Upon opening the file I found all my printouts 
I made and kept from the first year or so when I started using BBSes in 
1989.  I got a modem and printer both at the same time, so I printed 
EVERYTHING!  I have literally my first dial into a BBS printed out along 
with the magazine I got my first BBS from.

What's neat is I have TONS of printouts from other BBSes, and dang I forgot 
what just black and white ASCII text lookedl ike back then.  These printouts 
were all done on my TRS-80 Coco 2, direct connect 300bps modem, and my Tandy 
DMP-106 dot matrix printer.  Dang these brought back memories!!!

Something else funny is my fiancee works with a lady who's hubby used to run 
one of the more popular local boards, and I found all sorts of printouts 
from his board from Dec 1989.  I'm making copies for him :)

Anyone else have such memorabilita from the days of past still laying 
around?  Other then my first PC (an 8088 Samsung clone), I still have every 
computer, modem, etc I've used in a closet.  I'd love to pull'em out and see 
if I can get them back up.  Don't know why, but might be fun :)

Sam
