Yea those prices were ridiclous. They are still being sold except now they
are like $400. I thought I would be smart, I got into a deal with my partner
at the time (Fred Dart of New Image Software) that I would sell not only
Image, but Lt Kernals too. I was paying $600 to him, and I would charge $750.
I sold a total of 0 HD's, the Image was a better sale though, I sold like 20
of them for I think they were like $80 at the time and I paid $20 to NI.. :)
As for the phone lines, I had 2 lines one for the BBS and one for voice and
my dialing out.. She never really picked up the phone on me, but if she did
or the kids did I would lose it! LOL Now? VOIP is the best, I have a FAX
line, a BBS Voice Line, and a regular phone line.. Gotta love ObiHai and
Google Voice, the Fax line is dedicated and the BBS Voice line will one day
be a data line if I can ever get teh time to sit down and config it properly
but I can get text messages on all of them.. LOL
