Yes, I had owned a CoCo 2 earlier and knew       BASIC, but not networking, etc.              I did get VERY active immediately in INTELEC echo when The Fridge       was a new BBS in town and became a moderator not too far down       the road. I met the sysops in person and 'helped' a little on       things, but never got the bug. :-)                                          ...
