In my signature I have listed a BBS Software that started in 1984.  It
is the oldest BBS software on the Commodore still used today.  There is an
Apple IIe BBS that is older.  So check out the "way F*&%ing before" the
internet BBS.  Of course, you need help getting on?  Want to emulate a C64 and
see it Old School?  I gotchya!
        Also if your want to try emulation, I have a Vice and WinUAE package
for your PC.  Just let me know.  Call out with CCGMS or JR-Comm!
