      MSGID: 1:153/7001.2989 5cb21a68       REPLY: 6996.asian_li@1:275/100 211754a4       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,       Maurice              ...
