 KS> "Off The Hook"... that has got to be one of the best names for a BBS I
 KS> have ever heard. Nice one!

That's how BBSs worked back int he day, more busy signals than connections it seemed. Lol.
Thanks for the shout out!

 KS> And a Heathkit too!! Wow. I remember my friend's dad had a Heathkit and I
 KS> remember it had a huge floppy, something like 8 inches. That was the
 KS> very first computer I played a computer game on I think. We played
 KS> Colossal Cave Adventure on it and I remembered the phrase "XYZZY" for
 KS> the rest of my life after that game.

I had two 5.25" disks, each held 100k each. Ouch! And I played so much colossal cave, even finished it. Another phrase was "PLUGH" if you remember that one too. I had a great map that helped, wished I still had that! I also played a lot of Nethack. I still like both and hope to get both of them and Zork running on my board as well.

Cheers!
