(Lots of paper routes lol) it grew substantially , becoming one of the largest "leet" boards in the area.. Those 5 years were happy times, even though I rarely saw the sun, constantly modding the board, hanging out at the local computer stores , running around with a box of floppies everywhere I/we went.. never knowing who might have what.. Truly great times. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitter_Art_9293 · 2022-03-10 03:53 I peaked a little earlier I got my 300 baud taihaohao for my commodore 64 from Protecto the cheap ass c64 place same place I got my 160 non 1541 cardco cheap ass disk drive but I loved it I called a board in Ithaca new York in 1982 for like 10 minutes it was like 10 bucks maybe 20 but time stood still.

Wow. Before that I was running a stack of 1541s and 2 1581? I think. Cnet bbs out on long island. Probably 1986-87.
