PMS - Liverpool, The Night Shift at Liverpool Public Library
(1985-1989)
Jean Armour Polly, Rick FenstererPMS
""The Night Shift"" came up Jan 26, 1985 and was the first BBS in a public library east of Chicago. We ran it on an Apple ][+ with several disk drives and 1200 baud Hayes modem. In those days there were few public outlets where hobbyists could experiment with telecoms, and most were run by individual enthusiasts. We thought it was time for a public entity to step in and offer online service and discussion space. We averaged about 1,000 calls a month, had an active following, and even organized an off-line picnic! We closed the board sometime in 1989 when so many other commercial offerings became available. The library had opened public computers for use as early as 1981, a circulating software collection in 1984, the BBS in 1985, and full-fledged computer lab by 1987. In 1991 we acquired a SLIP connection to the Internet, and started mediated public access to it in 1992. This was the first, or one of the first, public access Internet ""on-ramps"" in the world and changed the public library paradigm forever, making public internet access a core library service."

Midnight Auto Parts, Midnight Auto Parts BBS, N.A.S.I.X., nasix
(1987-1998)
Patrick J. GleasonOracomm, Bulletron
"It went on-line for the first time on October 15, 1987 and is still operating today, though in an evolved form. In 1994 we added TELNET access to the traditional compliment of dial-up modems, and in 1995, added HTTP access. In 1998, the traditional dial-up phone lines were discontinued, and in 2001, the TELNET interface was turned off, but the HTTP interface continues to this very day. This evening, I (the author of the software that runs Midnight Auto Parts BBS) am mentally debating switching back to dial-up access only, as a measure to ensure greater privacy and anonymity for the end-users." - Patrick J. Gleason

Eric LarsonOpus, Remote BBS, FrontDoor
"This BBS spanned the time from when I first became interested in such things until I had to relocate to NJ due to my job being relocated. It was a file intensive single line system running on Fidonet serving the Macintosh community. After moving to NJ it really never rebuilt the user community and was shut down after a couple of years. At one time the Berkeley Mac Users Group rated it the number 1 Mac oriented BBS in the country. I still have a collection of post cards from callers from all over the world that visited Shockwave Rider." - Eric Larson

"This was a High School BBS which started when Jack Crawford from the Finger Lakes BOCES started what was know as the K-12 Net. Along with the Fido net network, this BBS provided message areas in both the Fido-net network and the K-12 Network. It became the CNY hub for the K12-network and also one of the nodes for the new net2608. It was a dial up system with one line and went off line when the Internet became available." - Larry Curreri
