Alpha Omega EAST
================

Also listed as: Alpha-Omega EAST

"Alpha-Omega started in Ellwood City as a single-user BBS. Through
my affinity with the computer community and BBS, I was introduced
to WWIV and became part of the WWIV network. In the early 90's I
brought the BBS all the way to Central California where an
associtae of mine took over the board and it became one of the
largest in central CA. The name was reatined as Alpha-Omega WEST.
In the 1990's I moved back to Pennsylvania and both EAST and WEST
Alpha-Omega existed and we shared conections to the WWIV network.
Alpha-Omega EAST continued to grow in Grove City where I continued
to be part of the WWIV network through another member on this list
(Charles Ring, W3NU) and also became a part of FidoNet. The BBS
now had hundreds of channels of information through both FidoNET
and WWIV and connections to the Internet. In the last year or two
of Alpha-Omega's online existence, I decide to swap out the
software for a Windows-based graphical software called Robo-BBS,
which was very similar to the now popular Amaerica Online software
and could offer opening multiple windows on the client side to
permit forum browsing, "doors" and graphics/sounds. The primary
audience was the Grove City College and users from the surrounding
area. With the popularity and growth of the Internet - it was
decided to cease operations due to costs and time in
administration. Today, I am operations manager for Winbeam, a
wireless ISP with offices based in Sharon, PA. I can be contacted
at dirk@cybernetx.org." - Derrick Yohn, Alpha-Omega BBS"
