The BoatHouse BBS ================= "I'm not sure how long Bill had The Boathouse up and going I was a member from the late 80's till 1997 or `98. He was driven out like many of the BBSs by local internet service. I believe he held out longer that most due to the fact the he did carry part of the backbone of the UUNet on that mess of systems in what could be euphemistically called a living room. It was great to have access to ALL the news groups that were out there not just a few that the ISP tell us we can get. Bill always went out of his way to help anyone trying to get a BBS going or to try and keep one going. He was the same with his members. If your system was down he'd dig till he found the problem or the part. You "NEEDED" the latest Blue Wave or whatever he would track it for you. I miss him and the Friends at the boathouse." - Dave McDougle Phone : 219-223-8879 Place : Rochester, IN Sysop : William "Corky" Wilder, Bob "Crash & Burn" Keen Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
