Simplified Computer BBS
=======================

"Simplified Computer BBS was the BBS for my father's (Gary Budd)
small PC retailer "Simplified Computer Systems, Inc". I was the
Sysop, under my full name (Kenneth Budd). It operated from 1988 -
1991, having two lines and running the professional edition of
PCBoard at its peak. As Sysop, one of my duties was routinely
using our "PCPursuit" (via Telenet's X.25 network) account to dial
into the BBSes that were the origin point for the most popular
shareware packages and download them for redistribution in the
Charlotte market via our BBS. We considered this a public service,
and it was very effective in driving traffic for both the BBS and
my father's business. in 1989 Gary and I founded the "Metrolina
Sysop's Association" as a monthly club for Sysops of Charlotte
area BBSes. Primarily social in nature, MSA helped us deal with a
few common abusive users who were wreaking havoc in our community.
Alan Kaplan (Legal Eagle BBS), Richard Cook (Shadowland II), Wayne
Cook (Scorpio BBS), & Joe Venturelli (XLR8ed BBS) were some of the
founding members that I remember. (There were others that I'm
failing to remember.)" - K.C. Budd
