   That's cool.  :)  I was out of work recently and was also wondering if I   
   should mention my BBS on my resume.  The main thing that kept me from doing   
   that is that most people these days don't know what a BBS is..  It seems that   
   many people working in the industry these days haven't been using computers   
   long enough to know what a BBS is, or never used BBSs.  When I mention to   
   people that I run a bulletin board system, I often get a blank stare.
