NWDS Lights & Magix
===================

"I ran NWDS while in high school, and actually met my first
girlfriend through it. NWDS started out as a stock Networks BBS on
an Apple II+ with a Hayes Micromodem (300baud) and 5mb hard drive.
I gradually rewrote all of it to include better email, online
multiplayer games (taking turns each signon), graphic displays
(HGR line drawings), and a romance-matchmaking game. I went pay
somewhere in there because I was only earning $3.85/hr, and
couldn't afford to keep the BBS going myself. NWDS was one of the
more sophisticated BBSes, and so had a loyal local following. In
the last year, I had about 50 paying subscribers. Lightning
eventually took the BBS down, and I couldn't afford to repair the
hardware. I look back at those first years online as some of the
most magical ever. All the marvel and excitement of something new
was there... and it was all as naive as were the 80's innocent." -
