    NB>A few days before I left on my trip, the bbs I   
    NB>send DADS and ASIAN_LINK messages from went down inexplicably, and   
    NB>wasn't back up until I got back from my trip.  I sent the reply packet   
    NB>I'd prepared over the few days before leaving finally AFTER I got   
    NB>back... ;)  Turned out he'd had a massive crash... thankfully he's back   
    NB>up and running well again.  :)   
      
    DS> The Sysops worst nightmare...a massive system crash. :( Been there,   
    DS> done that...which reminds me...I need to make another data backup. :P   
      
   Always good to be backed up... ;)   Never know when you might need it...   
       
    DS> I got my start in BBSing on one that was run by the Computer Science   
    DS> Department at the University Of Arkansas At Little Rock. That's where   
    DS> I first met Janice Harvey...who would become my wife many years later.   
    DS> If that BBS is still in existence, it's for the computer science users   
    DS> now. As best as I can tell, my BBS is the only one left in Arkansas.   
      
   At least the only one in the Fido nodelist...   
      
    DS> I thought I had a file on the BBS with the program that I ran "The   
    DS> World's Smallest BBS" on my Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100 laptop, but   
    DS> could not locate it this morning. I guess I have to dig into an older   
    DS> backup to find it...or I might be able to Google it.   
      
   There may have been others equally small, in similar setups...  ;)   
       
    NB>We get that, too... nothing but rain in the forecast, but look out the   
    NB>window and there's sun and maybe some clouds...  ;)   
      
    DS> I wish that was Arkansas' weather...but we're in the midst of our   
    DS> spring Tornado Season now, and the BBS ends up being offline more than   
    DS> online, to protect from lightning damage.   
      
   We get the rain, too...  but things are a lot more variable than the   
   forecast often indicates...  I'm glad we aren't often hit by tornados,   
   though...
