The Paradox BBS V2.0
====================

"Nathan and I were both high school students at Sonora High
School. He was 1 or 2 years ahead of me. We were good friends, and
since he was going to be graduating, operation was transferred to
me instead of just shutting the BBS down entirely. Of course, I
liked using BBSes, but one of my interests in taking over
operation was that I was at the time an OS freak. (I am writing
you from pine on FreeBSD, connected by a Mac OS X terminal) What
good was having a system that could dual-boot OS/2 2.0 and Windows
NT 3.1 Beta if you didn't have an 'important' BBS to run? I can
report that the BBS ran under NT 3.1 almost all of the time, as I
found that the 'Tosser' functions for inter-BBS message transfer
ran faster due to NT's apparently better disk cache functions, but
the tradeoff was OS/2 2.0 had a better shot of running a DOS game
at the same time; what a dilemma. BBS networks were another
fascination. In 1994 I started an ISP, which I run to this day. In
fact, I think one of the ways I helped gauge interest in 'the
Internet' was by posting on some of the local BBSes.. I think I
saw a printout of that post in some of my old papers a while ago."
