LOL. No doubt that brings back memories. I ran a BBS called
Khanada Konnection for 6 years running C-NET BBS. 1 1541 Floppy, 2
Indus GT Drives, and my LT KERNEL 20 'MEG' Hard Drive (Cost me over
$800 but when you had the amount of games and such, it was nice to
have) The 1200 baud Cartridge Modem flew compared to the 300.
When I worked GENCON this year, Atari had a big booth. Sid Meyer
(Writer of a lot of cool 80's video games) is redoing Pirates!.
Looks very cool. Had to D-load it for my C64 emulator. Talk about
nostalgia.
