"First called The Guillaume Gazette, then shortened to The Gazette. Member of FidoNet. The BBS ran on a Tandy 1000SL with 2400 baud modem from beginning to end. Up 24 hours on its own phone line (which strangely later became the number of a local pizzeria)." "It was really my mom's BBS, and she later admitted she had a serious addiction problem to computers/BBS'ing. She would get up hours before work (5 a.m.) and be on in the evenings running The Gazette and calling other BBSes. I was nine then, and I remember just watching her on the computer. I honestly believe I learned to type by watching her so much." - Jeff Guillaume

"The BBS originally started as a CNET system on a Commodore 64 with a 300 baud modem and two single-sided floppy drives. After a couple of years a fellow Sysop in the area (Andy Zink) talked me into buying a 8088 IBM compat system. The day it arrived he came over, installed DOS, installed TAG and then went home. I had never been on a IBM compat before so the next few weeks were a hectic crash course in learning DOS and keeping the BBS up and running on TAG...I can laugh about it now! The years running the BBS were a real joy! I met many wonderful people through the BBS and had many good times. The internet will never replace the sense of community and sharing that was such a part of the BBS years....." - Kevin Craft

"I was the President of the Modem Support Group, of Lansing Michigan. We were an organization that got the BBSers together for picnics and awards shows (we'd have people vote online in various categories and we'd hand our awards) as well as keeping the Lansing BBS List. We were together from around 1982 until around 1994. We even compiled and handed out a "Beginning Modem User's Guide." - Randy Pearson
