Favorite amongst readers was "Filthy Food for Thought" which were highlights of FDA recalls which at that time I had to get via dial-up from FDA. I published the list of "Allowable Filth Limits in Food". When it went down, there were OVER 100 phone lines. In last few years there came about an FCC MONTHLY surcharge of a few dollars on each phone line. BSS was in its hayday during DOS. Mew computers came with Windows and preloaded with AOL or other on-line GUI software so people didn't go hunting for BBSs to call. Declining revenue VS escalating cost brought it down." - Ray 46 Lines - 100 Directories - Full Usenet Feed - 8.2GB Phone : 212-274-8110 Place : New York City, NY Years : 1984 - 1996 Sysop : Michael Sussell, Mike Sussell Software: PCBoard Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
