No, he's saying that the board is RUNNING there.  It's not a "site", it's a
BBS.  A real live Apple IIe running GBBS Pro.  You've logged into it even.

There are no files available for download right now.  I'm waiting for Kevin to
find EXFER.SEG so I can add a good file base. :)  Even then, I wouldn't put 
GBBS up for download until I had Kevin's ok first.  Something tells me he's not
going to sit on it for a decade and just yell at people that want a copy of it.
