Last meeting I remember being at was in the basement of a bank and watching the
Lynx being demoed.

I think the link networks you were thinking of was Freenet

did you ever attend the Cintari meetings? I was there I guess from
around 1990-1995 or so until we lost the meeting place.

I remember calling a few bbs's in california. remember those days,
file uploads ratios to be able to download stuff, door games. haha
and today the internet. although we did have a few bbs's that were
linked with others around the country.. i forget what we called that.
but alot of people were posting messages from different areas.

I was doing screen art of some of the bbs's , mainly with the IGS
format that was used on the atari st computers. I did some for a bbs in
california, and a few locally.. I did some for revelstone bbs,
speedys , roundtable and the one in california. maybe some others, but
i can't remember now. i still have atari st with alot of disks. whether
any of it works or not , i don't know . I haven't used either in some time.
