Starbase 53 =========== "I can't tell you how happy I was to find your site. Just looking over and remembering all the other BBS sites that I used to visit, and the SysOps I remember meeting. Here is one that is listed in the "www.verycomputer.com" listing, but yours seems much more comprehensive and historical. I was disappointed that my site was not listed in the "archives". If you'll allow, I'd like to add my own boards to the historical listing. Baud: 1200/2400/9600. Megs of Storage: 200+ (this was a HUGE amount at the time, when most boards were running around 80 megs or so.) Computer: Atari ST. BBS Software: Forum ST/STadel. Content: Software downloads/DOORS Games, etc. Historical Listing: http://www.verycomputer.com/10_68b7c9f88e600140_1.htm I can't remember the exact dates, but it was over a 5 year period or so (Around 1989 - 1994)." "I can tell you a bit about the Rochester BBS SysOp picnic, where about 10 of us BBS SysOps got together to talk about... BBS's. LOL. Met Bob Puff (Developer of Puff BBS Software), and some others, who's names I've since forgotten. I still have printouts of some of the more memorable postings and discussions if interested. Please note that the 716 area code at the time included Rochester AND Buffalo New York. Several years ago, the 716 area code was consolidated to just Buffalo, and the Rochester area was changed to a 585 area code. Dark Knight's BBS (also run from that same location above)." - Larry Matula Phone : 716-467-5659 Place : Rochester, NY Years : 1989 - 1994 Sysop : Larry Matula Software: Forum ST/STadel Listed by telephone number, as they all were. A few of these boards did reach the web: see recoveries-002.txt.
