True Colors, True Colors BBS
(1988-1994)
Michael RobertOpus, Maximus
"What memories your page just brought back!! I ran True Colors BBS for six years, under two numbers since I moved during that time. New number became 305-595-0313. Running a BBS was the coolest experience of my life. It meant staying up late making changes to the system, trying to find new ways of attracting callers and of course meeting the most amazing people. Nothing like waking up in the middle of the night,looking at your computer screen and seeing someone typing an email. Was like you were never alone. People that use the internet now have little idea of the BBS world that existed. The knowledge and experience I gained through running a BBS has stayed with me and furthered my career in information technology." - Michael Robert

"I was amazed today to read thru the textfiles and see my Odyssey BBS and Passion BBS listed. Like many others have said, It sure brought back many fond memories. Some of us throughout the country were involved at the time in sending messages to the troops during "Operation Desert Storm" using a software provided to us which I can't recall at the moment. Thanks to the BBS's of the time the soldiers were able to get mail much faster than with the traditional snail mail. I congratulate you on a great job with the movie and putting such a great piece of history together. My best to you and all those who took part in the pioneering of the net ...

"It's 2013 and amazing to see a list of people I once knew and how the world has changed since I first discovered computers. Back in 1989 I started with a self built computer that had a whopping 40 meg hard drive and an enormous 2 megs of RAM plus an 8" floppy drive. I made so many friends and thanks to Fidonet, the years running Sunshine PCBoard are among my fondest memories. The local, national and international friends made, the pot luck holiday dinners, the good times, the bad, the conventions, my marriage to Peter Stewart and the kindness of people thousands of miles away that I never met, but knew better than the neighbors next door. Until it's close in 1997, my BBS was my lifeline to the world and I am privileged to have been a part of computer history and it's future. We proved it's a small world, the Internet just took over to make it easier to do what we'd been doing all along. If anyone is still around, feel free to email me at michele@sunshinemac.com. Yeah, I'm a Mac baby now. LOL"- Michele Hamilton

David LandowneCommunitree
"This was the 5th BBS to open in Miami and eventually became the last one which did not require a password. It ran the Communitree software on an Apple ][ with 280K of floppy storage. The program was all in RAM so the floppies were entirely available for (compressed) messages and the index. There was nothing to break in to, all the messages were available, so there was no real security need for passwords. Another feature was the fairwitnesses, people with passwords, who could hide messages they thought were inappropriate. The messages were still available to the persistent hackers until I deleted them. After a few years Bob Scheel took over as sysop and eventually ported the concept to different hardware." - David Landowne

"Was the original Electronic Link, later the name was willed to Alan Criado who revived the site from Commodore 64 based to a multi line PC based running Esoft TBBS (Awesome one of the first multi person chat rooms and had an internet, fidonet portal). Later it became one of Miami's 1st Internet providers: Electronic Link .or. www.elink.net - In the late 90's The entire Biz was sold to another ISP in Homestead somewhere and the name rights went to a telecom company I think?"

"What memories, I remember my dad telling me to turn that sh!t off and get to bed!!! hahahahaha.... I love it. 2 Lines on a C64 later a C128 (New name Electronic Link) with link 6 floppy drives and westridge, hayes modems later USR, Smarteam." - Vincent Medina

CONNECTION-80 Orlando

Bill VermillionCONNECTION-80
"I put up the first 24x7 BBS in Orlando on July 1, 1981. The software was called Connection-80. I was listed the hardbound book that listed all the BBS in the US that came out sometime after I brought my BBS up.

"I'm a pack-rat so somewhere I still have the original TBBS manuals, and even have my first computer, the old original Radio Shack Model I that I got in 1977 - two days after Christmas after a 3 month wait. It was the 4th Radio Shack computer sold in Orlando.

"That became the orignal BBS machine. The Connection 80 software would hold only about 80 or so messages. The TBBS used a database type approach to store message and capacity went way up. I then moved to 80-track double density drives with the TBBS software and that was 360K per drive and I could keep a great many more message on line.

"When I moved it to the Max80 with the 8" DSDD floppy drives with 1.2MB per disk things got better and faster. Limits like that seem quaint in today's world.

"I moved to TBBS - and serial number as recall ws 23, with the first 10 being reservered and were for local testing in the Denver area. I ordered TBBS to be shipped when it was released. I got it and had one file missing and they set it up for transfer. I was up and running before the hour was out. Dave Ebert at the company said I was the first TBBS East of the Mississippi and may have been the first up and running outside their test machines in the Denver area. I later gave up TBBS and moved to a BBS on a Radio Shack 16 written in BASIC that I bought, and then in a couple of months moved to be a usenet leaf, and shortly thereafter a node. At it's peak I was in the top-500 sites monthly - and that was in the days when the full usenet feed was not too large. When the daily feed when to 100MB/day I dropped the alt.binaries, and finally all the alt groups." - Bill Vermillion

"The Psycho Ward was started by me in 1987 using GBBS II on a Franklin Ace 1000 (Apple clone).... and upgraded to a PC in 1989 using The Major BBS from Galacticomm (I wrote several online games for them), after which a second line was added (305-749-3637). It remained a two-line BBS for several years, until I finally took it down to "move on with my life". The major focus of The Psycho Ward was an RPG based on the Transformers cartoon, but there were other discussion areas and RPGs (such as AD&D and Wrestling), and it was a proving ground for many of the games I wrote." - Psycho Murdoctor

"Wow, hard to believe it's been 20 years! I started the Power Station as a place for my listeners when I was a jock on Power 96 to dial up and keep in touch with what was going on at the station. Suddenly it grew from being a pet project to a full time / part time job! I even ran all the echomail for the entire region for a period of time until the long distance bills got beyond my meager DJ salary.

"I was always trying to be one step ahead, I was one of the first, if not the first, sysops in Miami to run with a USR 9600 HST baud modem purchased under the sysop program, had a full meg of ram and the box was an XT clone with a whopping 10 meg hard drive! The original box was a clone with an 8086 processor later upgaded to an 8 mhz 8088 thanks to a sysop in California that worked for MicronPC and finally a 286 setup by Peter Adenaur from AMS. I somehow managed to be a beta for a host of systems including the Opus BBS system which ran until the end powered by a DBridge front end.

"Many thanks to Chris Baker from Miami-Fire who came over on a rainy day to help me get all the script files fixed, Marc Ache' for helping with all the betaware he scripted, Chris Irwin for allowing me to beta DBridge and Peter Adenauer for helping me to build a new mega box to run the show!" - Miguel Lombana
