Its amazing how BBS where so much smaller but just as useful in some ways. The internet has evolved the concept of interconnecting to fellow human to bring the world closer. I hope the net will continue to evolve but also keep our roots. Best to keep with roots to learn where to learn. :) I wasen't born during this time, but I would have had alot of fun if I was around that time.

I enjoyed running ViSiON/2 0.84b and everyone else was migrating over to Renegade or one of the newer bbs softwares which I forgot what was called. ViSiON/X released by Razor 1911 was very stable as well and I considered using that one. The first software I experimented with was LiQUiD/2 but I couldn't get it to work right so I scrapped it right away. Most people would say that V2 was too buggy or unstable to use but it worked fine for me and I never got back doored. V2 is very easy to hack.

This is cool. I use to run "The Trading Post" in Louisiana from 83-85. Without an applecat modem, the computer was worthless. I still feel this way...without communicating with the outside world, what good is a computer?
