Hello all

Not familar with this editor, but I'm calling from an IBM PC/XT in
Austin TX.  Have this thing loaded with 640KB of ram (can`t imagine
why anyone would need more.  Using an ethernet card (Kingston KN20T,
I believe), and using Michael Brutman's awesome mTCP apps.

I ran a BBS out of my bedroom in the very early 1990s, on a variety of
BBS software, finally settling on WWIV and WWIVnet.  I also ran
the BBS on a 5160 at one point so this is quite a blast from the past.

Thanks for keeping the BBS up, it's one of the better ones I've come
across lately.

If Marty became "cool" Marty with the badass Toyota truck after
changing history by encouraging his dad to punch out Biff, why
was cool Marty hanging out with the strange scientist?  -- The
Marty we watched go back in time at the end of the first movie...

============================================================
I have an XT (most of it, not the case) that I would love to get up and running and go on BBS' with.  I'm short a power supply.  Something about that phosphoresent CGA green text.
