Hey Jimmy!

Do you prefer Jimmy or JIMMY?

 JA> I assumed it was short for intelectual

Ah!  Okay but in my defence Intel looks more like a name for a certain chipset
manufacturer.

 JA> When I first learned about and starting using BBS's in the 90's,

I started with Fidonet around 90-ish or so although just as a user, not a
sysop.  My first Fidonet BBS was around 95-ish, called Zoltan BBS running on a
486 in a basement in Ladysmith BC, Canada.

 JA> I think they had four incoming lines.

Only one data line on Zoltan but I did run across some multiline BBSs here and
there.  None in Ladysmith however.

 JA> These were mostly long distance from each other and even included
 JA> a couple of North Mississippi & North Alabama BBS's.

I think I've got them all beat as far as long distance is concerned.  I am sure
I am the furthest west nodelisted in North America and maybe even the furthest
removed from Mississippi and Alabama.

Life is good,
Maurice
