TW>-> That is a lot of BBS's for 1 Metropolitan area, even one as huge as San
TW>Diego.

TW> Yes it was. But for some reason the San Diego general area has always
TW>been Very Computer Aware. At one time we had the MOST broadband
TW>wired Downtown of any city in the United States.
TW>And the great side effect of all those BBS's spreading the word and
TW>computer aware people was a Multitude of small computer stores which
TW>meant lots of Competition and the resulting lower prices.

I wonder if the SDCS was fractured by the same divisionary in-fighting
that occurred between the elitist Mac group and the rest of the BCS
groups ?

Ciao, Ack.
