A Tear in Your Hand

"The names, in order, are inspired from "The Adventures of
Buckaroo Banzai" movie, a song by Tori Amos, and a song by Nine
Inch Nails. I ran the BBS in my bedroom during high school. It
started on a 386sx 25mhz PC with 4 megs of RAM, 20meg hard drive,
and 2400baud modem. Eventually things were upgraded to a 486,
28,000bps modem, 1x speed CD-ROM. We were one of the first BBSes
to offer people free internet e-mail which I delivered through a
UUCP hub. We also offered access to a shareware CD-ROM including a
disc from JASC Shareware that included one of my own projects on
it. We hosted a few messaging networks like FidoNet, but we also
founded our own network called RaveNet which had member nodes all
the way in California. Complex batch files ran nightly jobs and
auto-corrected problems including restoring service on a reboot.
In fact, the BBS continued to run autonomously after I left for
college in 1995. It was shut down sometime in 1996 as I changed
interest to the "new" World Wide Web. The BBS was hit once by a
virus purposely uploaded by a classmate from my high school. I
also met one of my girlfriends through the BBS- my first in a long
line of computer-assisted dating." - Bryan Peretto
