Wildcat BBS - I ran 8, 1200 baud modems - 9 phone lines - Earth Station 1 BBS...

Simpler days indeed. Anyone else attend the 1BBSConn in Denver hosted by Boardwatch magazine? Those were the days, oh yeah baby!

And of course I did this on a 40mb ST251- RLL encoded seagate hard drive, on 2 Tandy 286's running 1 full mb of memory using QEMM to get that pesky extra 384k of memory to load instances of Wildcat.

Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. Thank you DWTF for a lovely memory lane flashback!
