Last Chance BBS
===============

Also listed as: Last Chance Data Systems / LastChance

"This started out as a test bed for another sysop in the area who
was too chicken to convert over from RBBS to the brand new (at the
time) PC-Board software. From there on, as they say, the rest is
history. When Last Chance finally shut it's electronic doors in
1991 there were over 200 registered users and the system had added
a second line. Two dedicated Intel 286 workstations answered the
phone with US Robotics HST modems and a third 386 machine was the
network server, running on the then brand new Lantastic network
hardware and software. The decision by the telephone company (GTE)
that this was now a "business" because I solicited donations from
users to try and offset the ever-increasing operating costs was
the nail in the coffin of this BBS. The entire system was sold
intact to a hospital in Dyer, IN and used for staff access. I was
fortunate enough to work as an installer and consultant to them
for a short while and oversaw the installation of a multi-disk
CD-Rom drive (brand new technology at that time) added to the
system that allowed access to a vast medical database for the use
of doctors and hospital staff. To this day I remember fondly the
many people I met thru this BBS, including a couple of online
romances that sprung up between users. While the Internet has
opened up a vast new world of information and global
communication, I still miss the small friendly community of people
that frequented my BBS. Thanks to all of you, should anyone who
remembers me be reading this." - Dennis Wood
