"Bits of Blue was the official site for the Tampa IBM PC Users Group. The BBS started in 1987 (bits of "big" blue was the idea) at a phone number I do not remember, in October 1988 the number changed to 239-3704 and stayed there until the number changed again in 1995 (to 813-980-2725)." - Kevan Sheridan

Rob Wiley | custom software - Apple II+ |

"In 1983 the phone number for Alpha changed to 813-969-0512. Alpha's sister system, Omega, turned into an online gaming board in 1983 but I do not remember the telephone number. Omega was online from 1982-1983. Alpha featured movie reviews, articles, email and of course a public message system. It operated at 300-1200 baud. Alpha and Omega were the first Apple-based BBS's in Tampa." - Anonymous

"Rotating BBS (depending on day of week, how I felt) Originally ran as Ground Zero with me (Rotte / The Humungous) and Ryan (The Deathwarrior). Me and Ryan hand coded our first Commodore-64 bbs (just a basic single board and one adventure game) that lasted for a year before the C-64 burned up from overheating. We moved it onto a IBM XT I built (with a 20 meg HD!!) and tried just about all of the dos bbs software out there (Wildcat, PC-Board, WWIV, 2AM, Pyroto Mtn etc) before finally moving off dos and programming the first (and maybe only) OS/2 based BBS (Synergy) in the late 80's. Ground Zero was sci-fi based off of the Road Warrior movie, mainly sci-fi, gaming discussions. Wildcoast was fantasy wargaming and RPG based. Later on I met Catherine, and she created the Murkworks bbs which I ran, which was fantasy and writing based." - Thavious

Mako Yoshikawa | CNet, CNet128, Dead;pcl, Deadlock |
|
"Started at age 13 with a 300 baud modem and C64. Later a couple of C128s and 1200 baud. In the last part of it's life the Loose Moose was a 5 node IBM compatible (386s, 286s and XTs) network running Novell Netware and 10mbps network cards. I had 2 phone lines (813-684-5923 and 5987) at 2400 baud with the ability for users to chat between nodes. I had a whopping 160MB of storage. I finally closed down due to all the maintenance that was required and the cost of having equipment damaged all the time due to Tampa's lightning. I can't remember the name of the IBM BBS software I ran. This was a great experience and I taught myself so much including Unix which has been my daily job for almost 2 decades. I met a lot of people, some that I still am in contact with and had a lot of fun. I miss it a lot. There were so many firsts. Here is irony for you... Shortly after I shutdown the internet started gaining traction and my thought was that it was going to be more time wasted on technology..." - Mako Yoshikawa

"This BBS began on an radio shack color computer then an atari 130xe then a atari 1040st and finished its life out on an IBM PC AT. The original bbs on the RS Color Computer ran software I wrote and really didn't do a lot other than messaging. On the atari 130xe I ran BBS Express, I actually forget what I ran on the Atari ST (could probably find it as there was only one serious program offered for the ST in that timeframe) and I finished out the bbs era on the PC with OPUS as a cog in the fidonet. :) Thanks for the memories ;)" - Jody Large

"I wrote the BBS myself using a hybrid of MS BASIC and assembly language on a Radio Shack Model I. It was one of the original BBS's in Tampa (I think it was the 5th but not 100% certain). The first version I wrote when I only had a tape drive but lots of memory. Every morning I had to save the message data base (each message was limited to 255 characters due to the size of MS Basic strings!) to cassette tape and restore it in the evening. I did this for not quite a year and then managed to save up enough money for the expansion interface and a couple of disk drives. At that point I rewrote the entire board to handle longer messages and ran the board on a 24 hour basis. The new version and the one that ran for all but about one year was called "Micro Informer II". I did try out a commercial BBS for less than a year called Access 80 but ended up going back to my home grown BBS." - James Card
