   Hey Carol!   
      
    CS> I started feeding my first point node in 1989.   
      
   I think I might have been a user that year.  The BBS in question was running   
   on a DEC server (VAX/VMS) and my access to it was on a dumb terminal residing   
   in a climate controlled room with 9 track tape drive towers.  I forget the   
   name of the BBS now but later on it was farmed out to a horticulture society.    
   After that I used a 386 with a 4800 baud modem to connect to it.  I am not   
   sure how many years that lasted.  1992-ish or so and by then I had totally   
   spoiled by the Sparc machines I had access to and was doing my best to turn a   
   DOS shell into something resembling csh (aka c-shell).   
      
   Them were the days.  :::snicker:::   
      
   Life is good,
