     COMMENTS | "Only up at night.  Used various software. was run on an
              | 8088 system with no hard drive installed. Frankendata's
              | castle was originally started because I was told I could
              | not run a BBS without a hard drive." - Wild Willy

              | Meadow Vista, CA     (1988-1998)
        SYSOP | David Canfield, Richard Hoopes 
     SOFTWARE | Opus v1.03 
     COMMENTS | "Originally run on a Packard Bell 8088 purchased from
              | Price Club, now known as Costco.  Computer came with a
              | 30MB hard drive. After a year, purchased a second 60MB
              | hard drive to host as many files and Fidonet message
              | areas as possible.  Seemed to only be limited by my 2400
              | baud modem!  Home base before David took over the BBS was
              | on a desk in our bedroom next to our bed.  When the first
              | child was born, I recall my wife laying on the bed
              | playing with our infant son and saying, "Get to know the
              | back of that man's head, it's all I ever see--That's your
              | father".  25 Years later, we're still married!  Hosted a
              | MUPT (Modem User Pizza Thingy) a few times at Mountain
              | Mike's Pizza in downtown Meadow Vista.  After I turned
              | the BBS over to David in 1991 and moved to the big city
              | of Sacramento, I continued to use the Packard Bell for
              | the kids until the 8088 fell out of favor even for them.
              | It sat around as a doorstop for awhile.  I'm a pretty big
              | pack rat when it comes to computer parts, books, disks,
              | etc, but the wife finally gave me the stern, "It has to
              | go" speech.  Feeling lazy, I didn't even try to resurrect
              | the beast, connect a null modem cable and siphon off all
              | the data...  For that I have felt bad for years!" -
