II BBS

"I ran a SCSI System - I daisy chained 3 Pioneer 6 Pack CD's with
a 6 pack offline request (18 online) 24 CD's from Night OWL CD's
to Shareware Best. I also ran online games - Beta Tester for
Freshwater Fishing - Ran Trade Wars 2002 - Master of the Universe
(MOTU) - many more popular ones. I ran Wildcat! SOftware
Multi-Node version - I had 2 to 3 nodes going at one time - even
had a bump line from Columbus Ohio, making my LOCAL calling area
one of the LARGEST in area. I don't know anyone else that ran 18
cd's online - so might make me the largest file base in county if
not state. I also had Frontdoor for FidoNet, COBBA, WildNet,
Boondocks (our local are nets), plus other available to me via
Frontdoor or QWK packets. I really enjoyed jumping in a local Node
and chatting with the users - or playing the online games. Most I
missed of all is messing with DOS - I still believe it's faster
than Winders (memory hog) but, the software is much better now
using that environment. Just think what we can do with the speed
connections we have now. Direct-Direct connection with a cable
modem - WOW - no hops That would be speed. I remember my first
HighSpeed Modem was $614 for a 14.4 HST USR "Sysop" Special I
still have all mine that was connected to the nodes. Have fun - as
my log out screen said - "Turn out the lights - the Party is over"
