"CyberNet started off as "The Sprawl", which was an attempt at a warez BBS, and then turned into CyberNet, a hacking/phreaking/textfilez BBS (we called them "underground" BBS'es back then). In the end, we became a pure "free speech" BBS, because we were in the middle of Operation Sun Devil, and we were all over 18. Boy, we were crazy kids." - David Jackson

(1979-1995) Mike Perry | Net-Works and Various Others, Custom software written by Mike Perry, and other systems over time |
"This is one of the earliest and oldest operating BBSes in the nation. It started out on an Apple running net-works, then later I custom-wrote software for the Tandy TRS-80 Model III in interpreted basic - in those days I didn't have an auto-answer modem so when a call came in, I manually flipped the answer switch! I also had the BBS set as an alarm clock to call me on my other line in the morning to wake me up to go to school! Later the system evolved to the IBM PC and ran a wide variety of different software and eventually became part of Fidonet. It was a lot of fun participating in the early days of the BBS community." - Mike Perry

(1989) Andy Anderson, Sir Newton (Andy Anderson) | GBBS |
"You have 504-288-6502 listed as High Tech BBS. Andy Anderson started High Tech BBS as part of his business in 1989. It may have used the above number for a short while, but it moved to another which I can't remember. The 288-6502 number was used for many years as the home of The Apple Seedling BBS which Andy ran as Sir Newton. I believe it ran from 86-89, but I'm sure I'm off a bit on the dates. The Seedling was a very popular Apple BBS in New Orleans. High Tech has a website: http://www.high-tech.com. I was the sysop of Terminus (504-454-7834). In addition, I ran a BBS called The Digital Reef as Mr. Barracuda. I believe I ran it from 87-89. It was a 504 system, but I can't recall the phone number at present. I'll see if I can dig it up. Thanks for all the work you're putting into this and the textfiles site. It's great to see all the stuff I grew up with being preserved!" - George Kocke

"TRS80-Color Computer 2, 32bit, dual 5.25 Single Side Density Disk Drives and Cassette Storage running RBBS for Basic and OS9 with a Jcat 150/300 Manual Connect Modem spliced to the serial port of the CoCo2. Modem upgraded in 1987 to Tandy 300/1200 baud Auto Answer Modem. Notable Highlights: FidoNet .089, Youngest Sys-Op (14), Ascii Art Downloads, LocalNet message node. Note about The Rainbow BBS: This was the first BBS in 504 area code to run on OS9/Basic on a Color Computer 2 @ 150 Baud. The SysOp (Darrin Martin) was at the time, the youngest SysOp in the state at 13/14 years old and one of the youngest in the United States. Through trial and error, He successfully hard wired a Jcat 150 baud modem to the serial port on the CoCo2 with out instruction or support and quickly was elevated to Vice President of his Local Computer Club. He then established the 2nd Node in his local dial area to FidoNet, and assisted many of the other BBS SysOps in the area in establishing their systems. His mentors were; Rick Luquette, Ray Barns, and Tim Burchman. R.I.P." - Darrin Martin

The more questions answered would give you more power over other users. Very addictive and battles crossed over into real life. The line was often tied up 24 hours a day." - David Snowdy
