"LA/OW started out on a Sperry 8086 in 1985. It ran under various
softwares and hardwares until about 1992. I, BitWitch (Sue Bush)
was the sysop. At that time, many BBSes were up and really
popular. I recognize many of the names on this list with really
fond memories. Social clubs sprung up from the communities on the
BBSes, I remember a games group where we played role-playing games
on Sunday afternoons once a month at someone's house way before
RPG got hot. BBSers were hobbyists on the bleeding edge. In fact,
I even got a really good job once BECAUSE I was a BBS hobbyist to
build a BBS network for a commercial eye-glasses manufacturer! We
knew we were cool and it was a very close community that was very
important to those involved. When my BBS was up, my mom would come
visit and stay up all night watching the users leave messages for
each other. It was mystery, magic and when CHAT arrived, we
suddenly had the means to meet people from all over. At one point
there was a telephone "club" that gave us the ability to dial
long-distance for free, or almost free. What a deal! I called all
over the US all the time. CHAT BBSes got big in the late 80's and
CHATting became a lifestyle for many. People moved from one end of
the country to the other to be with those they met in CHAT rooms!
My sister was filmed for TV in San Fransico for doing just that.
When I traveled for Sperry 1984-1986, I met people for dinner in
most states I traveled to. It was fun and for me, a huge part of
my social life. I remember Hue Jr., Songbird, Jimbo, Our Father,
Phluffy, Fuzzy and many many more. I miss the people and that
interaction, terribly. The web ain't the same. I hope the
documentary does well and I applaud your efforts! I now run
