Hey Carol!

 CS> I started feeding my first point node in 1989.

I think I might have been a user that year.  The BBS in question was
running on a DEC server (VAX/VMS) and my access to it was on a dumb
terminal residing in a climate controlled room with 9 track tape drive
towers.  I forget the name of the BBS now but later on it was farmed out to
a horticulture society.  After that I used a 386 with a 4800 baud modem to
connect to it.  I am not sure how many years that lasted.  1992-ish or so
and by then I had totally spoiled by the Sparc machines I had access to and
was doing my best to turn a DOS shell into something resembling csh (aka
c-shell).

Them were the days.  :::snicker:::

Life is good,
Maurice
