   Welcome!  I think you may have set a new record for setting it up so quickly.    
   II started    
   HobbyNet back when the nodes were connected via phone lines and modems.  It   
   was    
   based in Miramar, Florida (Miramar bordered the county line between Broward   
   and Dade    
   counties.)   
      
   I called it HobbyNet because my wife loved using Prodigy to post about   
   cross-stitch, and    
   when I dropped Prodigy, I felt I could start my own BBS for less money.    
   Started with    
   Mustang Software's Annihilator running in DOS.   
      
   I was one of the first to switch to the Windows version because they offered   
   it for a huge     
   discount if you purchased it before it was even developed.  I never regretted   
   it.   
      
   Anyway, thanks for joining and thanks for posting.
