B.C.S. #-1 ========== Also listed as: B.C.S. TI99 BBS / BCS TI 99er's BBS Line 1 "The Texas Instruments Users Group of The Boston Computer Society. The 'TI Twins' as some called them, were twin TI99/4A's that ran TI-BBS on two separate lines in the town of Weymouth, MA, in the 1980's. 1984: twin TI-BBS systems begin operation in Weymouth, MA, Line #1 is at 617-331-4181 and Line #2 is at 617-335-8475. (Wonder Twin Powers... Activate!) . 1990: Line #2 is dropped. (Wonder Twin Powers... Deactivate!) . 1991: board at 617-331-4181 switches to Telegard host software, the only software at that time that could support the forty-column TI99/4A. 1992: board begins FidoNET networking as node 1:101/610, sharing the B.C.S. echomail message bases. (The TI99/4A had quite a nice little graphics chip co-processor. If you tried to print to the screen the CPU was slow as molasses; write to the buffer with a graphics call and zap!)" - Winston Smith Phone : 617-331-4181 Place : Weymouth, MA Years : 1984 - 1996 Sysop : Tom Ward, Tom Ward Software: TI-BBS, Telegard Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
