Hi everyone - I joined this group awhile ago but never had the time to participate. Let me introduce myself. I am Richard Mark, and I created the SBI list -...
COMMODORK: Sordid Tales from a BBS Junkie By Rob O'Hara. 2006. Published by lulu.com. As someone who is bathed in Bulletin Board System (BBS) history nearly ...
Been ever so dead lately. Wanted to bring your attention a few things. First, Jason Scott submission and nostalgic BBS discussion on Slashdot today; a review...

Hello.. like many here I suppose, I also owned a Commodore 64, and with a 300 baud (later 1200 baud) modem, I called into several BBS systems here in NYC. I'm...

Irene would be the one who, from what I recall, always tagged her posts with, "cackle, cackle." And Ame, Ame Flynn? There were others, but those two I seem to...
Too Funny! And WAY too much time on his hands. I remember how much time it took me to do just 1 picture! Telenet to: towel.blinkenlights.nl Done by Simon...
Last week I posted a message about the ASCII art of Star Wars IV that is posted over telnet at towels.blinkenlights.nl There have been posts here before about...
Thinking back to the "Golden Age of Dial-Up", does anyone have a Christmas gift that they were ecstatic about getting? A 9600 modem? New terminal or BBS ...
I can recall a Christmas in the early 80s that definitely sticks out as one of the best when I received enough cash to buy TWO dual floppy drives for my C-64...
Hi to all, Just thought I would pop in and leave a brief blurb about myself. In the late 70s and early 80s, I ran a Searchlight BBS called "The Control Tower"...
... You know, we had a similar conversation about A Christmas Story -- what was your Red Ryder BB gun? I actually had two of these. The first was the Atari...
I'm a little older than some of the others on this group, so my *actual* "Red Ryder" gift was probably a foosball table and a pair of roller skates. It was the...
To all from the old Fidonet Days... May this season find you, and all your family well... Tony Davis Back then it was Tony, TonyOKC or Tonto Z1EC, RC19, REC19,...

Hey Tony, Nice to see your name again as I was in RC19 as well as an independent for years until I was put back in net382. I sometimes miss the old fidonet...
The Polka Dot Palace was in Madison, NJ and ran from 1993 until 1997. It was a pretty small operation and not connected to Fidonet or anything like that. Lisa ...
Yes, they were extremely well written - something I don't think we'll ever see again. I remember spending hour upon hour going through my Vic-20 manuals...
I think my greatest Christmas present related to BBSes/IT was when my dad bought me an XP desktop for a Christmas/birthday present. I used that to develop...
I had a similar experience.. My first game system was Mattel's Intelivision (got it in 1980 for christmas) and then a C64 with 1541 and a few games in 86.. I...
The C64 manual was excellent. In my archives I still have original C64 owners manual and the programmers reference, as well as the C128 equivelants.. 65XX...
About 6 months ago I took a tour of approximately 40 modern BBSes. I had a nice HTML article I was writing up but then I didn't really know where to publish...
I disagree. The original c64 manual was a POS. I just looked at it again just to make sure it wasnt just me, and no, it is crap. The chapters on graphics and...
... I wasn't; it got me started. Actually, what I learned from that, and then on my own from looking at other code, got me through every programming ...
My thoughts are that we'll never really be able to recapture that age, just like we'll never be able to capture the days when web sites were primarily...
