"Built the system on a mod 1 trs-80. Had, at the time, about 150 regular users, including most of the leading lights of the phone phreaker community that met in greenwich village under the name "TAP". Also a large selection of downloadable programs for broadcast engineers. The experience of running/maintaining/hacking a beeb got me into the computer industry full-time. Still have the system I used, as well as the software. Pack rat, you know...:)" - Bryan Boyle
