RE: old school

[John Hedtke <john -at- hedtke -dot- com>]

My GHOD, I was there, too.  I was pushing my first BBS book and 
meeting a lot of people I'd only talked to over the phone.  Small world.

I ran a small Wildcat! BBS for the Puget Sound chapter for a few 
years around 1990-92.  I felt they needed one and I had a spare PC 
lying around, so I set it all up and bought a phone line.
