   I think their BBS was only up a few years, and no one thought to screen capture   
   anything... but I did find mention of Rob donating his software in a message   
   Stanton McCandlish put out in late '93 (when the EFF was still fairly new, if   
   I'm not mistaken) calling for donations of cash and equipment:   
      
   "We need donations of funds and equipment.  We already have BBS software   
   (Digital Dynamics has donated their Synchronet BBS package), but still need   
   a platform to run it on, including basic PC system, modems, tape backup,   
   monitor, hard drive, etc."   
      
   Amazing how far they have come.  Rob, I hope they've publicly recognized your   
   contribution with an award.  I also hope you realize how much of an impact   
   you've had on society, however indirectly, over the years.  Your name just   
   keeps coming up!  :)
