   I can probably see why.  It probably caters to a very narrow demographic.   
      
   I really enjoyed the episode were the principal BIOS programmer loses the   
   backups due to a degaussing and the panic that ensued.

   I started using it when it was included as a file in one of the computer   
   magazines I picked on the magazine stand.  Or, may it was something you could   
   mailorder - I don't recall exactly.  Or maybe it was via download on   
   Compuserve.   
      
   Anyway, RBBS-PC was available with source right from the very beginning.  I   
   really enjoyed modding it and compiling it. The official mods where well   
   managed distros too.
