	"Originally written in BASIC line by line, Comline operated on a Commodore 64 with no floppy drive. This meant I could never turn off the computer because it would erase all users and messages. I eventually got a floppy drive and merged the users in a single sequential (not random) file. I was quite proud of that user file coding because no id # was required for login. I eventually released Termline, a terminal program for Commodore 64 users complete with buffers, x and z modem protocols, and quick dialing." - Mike Yun

209-439-0119 Fresno, CA	F.A.M.O.U.S. (Fresno Area Modem Operator/User System) (1981-1985)	Jason Knapp	Homegrown
	"This BBS was my early teenage social life. I did start with some public domain software that I spliced together but I don't remember the references--it wasn't Fido or anything. All run on Atari with a 300 baud modem. I wrote everything in Microsoft Basic, and eventually lost control of the spaghetti code. I had some experimental features to my BBS: it was all themed as if you were in a medieval village and read like a simple Infocom (remember those?) game. Sometimes if you were at a menu prompt, something surprising would happen based on random timers like "a beggar comes up to you and asks for a pence"--if you choose not to give him one, some random % of the time the system would say that he calls you a cheap scoundrel and pulls a knife and kills you for your money--then when you tried to log back in during the next 24 hours the system would deny access saying "sorry, you're dead!". Or if you gave him something it might reward you with higher level access. Or maybe something else would happen~Wyou never knew! Anyway, it got quite popular and the modem was basically busy 24 hours a day until I took it down (and then the line was still constantly ringing for some several months. Some great memories. Thanks for doing this!" - Jason Knapp

	"Just add it was an Amiga-ran BBS, I forgot the name of the software we used at the time. Might have been Skyline? BBS software for amiga's only, allowed online amiga graphics.. I created the flying, fire breathing dragon animation for the log in. We ran that BBS on an amiga 2000. My name is Liz, at the time my ex and I ran that board. Him and that machine are part of history now. Dave Rasmussen did the programing to the board, I was the graphic person. Seeing the listing of other boards from that time period and from the modesto area brought back many memories. The BBS pizza parties, and other local get togethers with the sysops..and users...something lost when the internet came." - Liz Driver

209-883-0275 HUGHSON, CA	Programmer's Retreat, Programmers Retreat BBS (1987-1997)	J. Hill	Home rolled in Better BASIC
	"Ran a very complex and total custom BBS. All the code was in Better BASIC. Supported file transfers and *.wav files... a remote controlled FM radio served up WAV files of the station you could pick. Also, had a message base tie into the ham radio BBS system known as packet radio. I moved a lot and put a diverter line in Hughson, California to forward the calls out to Waterford so it would not be long distance from Modesto. We used to have local user parties in this area and all the sysops would hook up for drinks and PC Support. There's over 1000 users in my old BBS database... I could and did run on DOS 2.11 (300 baud) through to DOS 6.2 (9600/14.4kbps). I kind of ran under Windows 3.01 but we found AOL and soon after the Internet in 1997 and lost interest fast after we got our house in Salida. Now I run a low-power FM station (KQRP). For me, it's always been about serving the community." - Brad (J.Hill)
