I remember you; I ran a Fido BBS called The Red Wolf Opus. Small world, or
internet, I should say. My sister ran Gusngolf BBS(still gusngolf.com today)
and was a Chicago Fido Hub.

I ran the Legal Eagle way back when.... part of FidoNet. It was a lot of
fun. In my
rurual area we had something like 12 BBSs when it was most popular. I
still have
the 256 PC which ran things for me.
