ProBoard II =========== Also listed as: ProBOARD ][ GBBS "I operated the ProBOARD first on an Apple IIc with 140k Floppy disk and 128k of RAM beginning in late 1985. I may have used a different name at first, I was known as Silver Surfer then. By the time I became the Official GBBS-Pro Support and Development person for new owner Steven Lichter of The Apple Elite ][ in Riverside, I had changed the name to the ProBOARD ][ GBBS and used the well known handle Surfer Joe. Software I wrote was best known by my initials JPE. The ProBOARD ][ was A showcase of the most radical mods a SysOP could do to their personal Boards and many came to me for consulting and program work. Much of which was done remotely, across the country and around the world as early as 1987. The Primary GBBS-Pro BBS's in our Support Network were Networked using OggNET Node and Ring Software designed and developed by Paul Oggman. Gateways were build to interface our Network with FIDO and other nets. I was also Co-Designer and Developer for ProTERM Mac after many years on the beta test team for ProTERM A2. (Greg Schaefer and I became good friends) Search GBBS for more info. The ProBOARD ][ GBBS was preserved and sold intact to the Boston Computer Musuem in 2000. This was the same exact computer that Bob Hardy (later CEO for Sega North America) Created many of his popular A2 Games on in the early days btw." - John Edwards Phone : 805-239-4292 Place : Paso Robles, CA Years : 1986 - 1998 Sysop : John P.
