Penguin Shop ============ "I wrote all of the Penguin Shop code in BDS C, but Tari-Board used Tari-Board software; a product of Bob & Bob Software (I was the second Bob). Host: Ferguson Big Board, ACE-1000 running CP/M(I worked for Franklin), and eventually an Atari 800. SysOp: Bob Applegate (me). The board later moved to Marlton when I moved into a house but I've got no idea what the phone number was. A bit of info about the local BBS community back in the 80s. There were many local boards and we all got to know each other, so someone suggested a one-time get-together at a local restaurant. We had so much fun that the group starting meeting every couple of months, and eventually was dubbed the Bulletin Board User Group... BBUG ("bee-bug"). No formal membership, no dues, just a dinner every now and then. Most of the local sysops and many users came out. Info on another board: Cloud 9 II in Moorestown, NJ (609 area code). I can't remember his name anymore, but the sysop was a high school kid who wrote his own BBS on his Apple II. His younger sister was active on it and other local boards, doing some of the sysadmin work for him." - Bob Applegate Phone : 609-234-9240 Place : Maple Shade, NJ Years : 1983 - 1986 Sysop : Bob Applegate Software: Custom Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
