ORIGINALLY UPLOADED TO HOLODECK BBS   
      
   Just learned why this (and others) post didn't go out. Mike Roberts, the SysOp   
   of Holodeck BBS laid down to take a nap and never woke up. DAMN!

   Well, TBH, it's not a Commode Door group any longer. Even Dave Stevens, an   
   Amiga loyalist, runs his Amiga stuff on an emulator on his PeeCee. But, the   
   people who attend are people from the old user group days - when such groups   
   were handy to have around for the survival, care and feeding of the "new   
   technology" of home computing.  Bv)=

   The more-or-less leader of that group used to work for Burroughs and wrote and   
   ran the first multi-line BBS (in UNIX, no less) that I ever logged in on. Even   
   featured newsgroup access. I could download 80 column porn on my 40 column C=64   
   (at a blazing 300 baud with my TotalTel modem).   
      
   If you drop by, it's second Wednesdays and we begin around 6:30. Ask Louie, the   
   bartender where we're hiding. He knows me even if he may not know that we're   
   all computer geeks.
