Top Cat BBS
===========

Also listed as: TopCat PCB PRIV 160m CP/M

"I started the BBS as a night-time thing when my office wasn't
running. It was meant to be private and only had a handful of
users. However, the handful were influential in the world of
software and bbs' of that era. One of the authors of a primary
communications program released the latest version of his software
with a glitch. He fixed the problem and rereleased it, including
his phone list. My bbs was on there. I went from having 12 users
to over a thousand in about a week. I moved the BBS from my office
to my home and ended up having thousands of regular callers. In
1994, the bbs crashed for its final time. I had spent a fortune
upgrading the hardware and hanging hard drives off of the machine
for massive storage. To me, this was the end. It was a labor of
love, but I wasn't going to spend another thousand dollars on new
drives and upgrades. Some of the components (the old drives and
such) are buried under tons of stuff in an attic closet. It was
fun running the bbs at the time, but that era was quickly drawing
to an end as the internet was developing. Now everyone has moved
from bbs' and CompuServe to websites and it's a whole new
adventure." - Tracy E. Carman
