The Great White North
=====================

Also listed as: The Great White North (TGWN)

"I noticed this pillar of Commodore 64 BBS history in Calgary was
not credited with the operators' name and I felt obligated to add
some details out of respect to the man and the memories this board
had on a (then much) younger man. Bill was a regular at the
Calgary Commodore User group meetings and ran the BBS for many
years. I have many fond memories of the active message boards and
rousing games of Empire. Bill and I discovered a bug in Empire
where answering no to the right series of questions (where one
would normally answer yes) would cause the program to re-credit
you with the years' crops even though you hadn't played your turn
yet. A few cycles through this and the rich would get richer very
quickly. Bill had me fix this bug and patch the program, the first
time I'd fixed a bug in software. 20 years later, I still write
software for fun. Wherever you are Billy, thanks." - John Finlay
