DatAphasia ========== Also listed as: DatAphasia BBS "Our BBS was a close community of about 40 or so regular callers that checked in either daily of every other day, and about 100 more that called at least once a week. We had only one phone line, but it was well-used. In the beginning we were held together by the board's rather large selection of message bases that were networked to 6 message networks, one being a worldwide network, called FIDO. This was a big deal to a lot of people, since the Internet had not yet reached main-stream. It became even more popular with the addition of multiple gigs of software that was added online, and then by our (new and unique) Internet-gateway/e-mail system which set us apart, in 1995, from most of the local BBS community. But the people.... they made the whole thing worth while. I'll always remember my on-line friends: Claire Cantor, Chad Thompson (Oddly, I miss your sarcasm), Chris Dzialo (we never did play that basketball game! Sorry!), Ray Hinckley (I hope California treated you better), Bob Depino (thanks for the help starting up), Brendan Lefebvre (Still writing?), Dan Swatik (thanks for all your help) and so many more people that I couldn't list you all, I say, thanks for the memories. I'll always cherish the lost infancy of the online world and wish I could drag you all into one more online chat session. Any of you reading this who remember the BBS, e-mail me at: dataphasia@juno.com and tell me what you've been doing the past 6 years or so. Dave Beal (aka Striker Ace) signing off, with a tear."
