Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to say a quick howdy. I came across this bbs after seeing it
on our host's blog and had to sign up.

I have found memories of my family's first computer running DOS, and I enjoy finding modern uses for old technology. I'm also a big history nerd, and
enjoy in particular studying ancient Rome and ancient Egypt.

I look forward to talking with all of you.

Best Regards,

GJC

Welcome back to the BBS scene!

I have found memories of my family's first computer running DOS, and I enjoy finding modern uses for old technology.

I was the same way as well. Before the Internet was starting to be common, I used to connect to local BBSes in the area and download games and software for an Atari ST computer that I had at the time. I never did the messaging or the door games with it. The BBS I mainly connected to was just a local computer shop that sold IBM compatable and Atari software and hardware.

Ah, the good ol' days. Honestly, I was pleasently shocked to see that BBSes are still around; thought that they might have died out when the Internet boomed.

Yes, it's a very pleasant surprise that BBS are still around! They may be "outdated", but I find the fact that my hands never have to leave the
keyboard to use them very covenient. Also, makes me feel cool :X

It's funny how so many more modern platforms end up going by the wayside despite being more advanced, but these older pieces of tech keep on going and being used by people.

Atari, that reminds me that I need to play my 2600jr more often. And need to r eplace my decesed NES :X It's just money right?

Thank you for the welcome!

I think sometime that the web could be gone and you would still have old board still up. it's outdated but very resilient

can work on slow landline, radio packet network etc.

Indeed! The stability is impressive. I was reading a story of a
microcomputer (can't remember the model) that has been controlling a
facility's hvac system for over 30 years. Pretty darn impressive how
well some of this old stuff works.

Not that everything new is garbage, but sometimes the durability of certain things comes into question.

Embrace the new, keep the old around, you might still need it :-D
If it's not broken don't fix it :-D

No, I have'nt. I really need to brush back up on it and take the test. I really should have tested for the general while testing for tech, On my practice test I was acing the tech exam, but not so good on general. I was'nt secure enough to go ahead and test for it, but looking back now I feel I would have probably passed it then if I would have tested for it :-)

Well Bummer. I downloaded a book via nook? it's free and the general is just tech with additional knowledge of the HF bandplan really. I might try it but right now I haven't the space to set up a HF shack. Do you interact with the wins system or echolink etc? I should create an account on your BBS I hear there is a lot of HAM discussion. I am thinking of 'just trying' fbbs and ax.25 as a packet bbs just so I can say...

I actually used an andriod app in the downtime at work, and it worked great for me.

I have used echolink, but have'nt really dove too far into it. I've mainly just tested it on bot my pc and phone. I love the technology behind it, but its not really for me :(

ax.25 sounds fun. I hope to try it on sbbs one day :)
