High Voltage
============

"We started in 1985 in Libertyville, IL as Leg-Man's BBS and ran
on a C64 and an old version of CNET software. We had a 1541 drive
and two 1 meg drives (I cannot remember the name of them). Later
in 1985 we came up with an airport theme and renamed the BBS to
the Jet Stream. In 1986 I moved the BBS to Waukegan purchased a
Commodore 128D computer and renamed the BBS to High Voltage. I
upgraded to CNET 128 and added a Lt. Kernal hard drive (a 20mb
ultra-fast drive made for the 128). Along the way High Voltage
went up the baud rate ladder (300, 1200, 2400, topping out at 9600
in 1988 or was it 14400?) In November of 1989 I moved and shut
down High Voltage for good. I sold the 20mb Lt Kernal and the CNET
software to another SysOp. What distinguished High Voltage from
other BBS' was the amount of personal modifications I made to the
software. Since CNET was written in Basic it was realatively easy
to make enhancements. CNET could also accept 70byte modules, so
new games or utilities could be loaded as the user selected them.
We wrote or modified many of these and had many available for use
on our BBS. Being a SysOP was a memorable part of my life for 5
years. I have a few web sites today but they do not give me the
same feeling as I had during the golden age of the BBS." - Mike
