"Dennis operated his first BBS back in 1983 (when he was just 8
years old!) with a C=64 and Cnet BBS 11.1a software. Cnet for the
C=64 was considered by many as the most popular bulletin board
system of all time. In 1987, the Commodore Amiga replaced Dennis'
ailing C=64, and "The Abyss BBS" was born. For a period of 1-2
years, The Abyss operated under TAG software, but was quickly set
aside when Cnet Amiga was released in (around) 1991. In fact,
Dennis was the first person to register Cnet Amiga directly from
Ken Pletzer (who lived only a short distance away). And as with
the C=64 version, Cnet Amiga BBS was incredibly popular. In 1993,
The Abyss BBS changed hardware platforms to IBM, and ran under
Maximus BBS software. Dennis enjoyed Cnet Amiga so much that he
configured Maximus to look and act almost identical to that of
Cnet Amiga. In 1999, The Abyss officially closed its doors when
Internet access in the Windsor area became increasingly widespread
(as did broadband access). In 2001, Dennis opened infopackets.com,
a blog-style website geared toward MS Windows, Internet, and
Computing genre. Infopackets.com is read by 250,000 email
subscribers world-wide, and enjoyed by over 20,000 unique visitors
daily." - Dennis Faas
