Waukegan, IL 		High Voltage
(1984-1989)		 Mike Scribner, Rob LeggettCNET 128
"We started in 1985 in Libertyville, IL as Leg-Man's BBS and ran on a C64 and an old version of CNET software. We had a 1541 drive and two 1 meg drives (I cannot remember the name of them). Later in 1985 we came up with an airport theme and renamed the BBS to the Jet Stream. In 1986 I moved the BBS to Waukegan purchased a Commodore 128D computer and renamed the BBS to High Voltage. I upgraded to CNET 128 and added a Lt. Kernal hard drive (a 20mb ultra-fast drive made for the 128). Along the way High Voltage went up the baud rate ladder (300, 1200, 2400, topping out at 9600 in 1988 or was it 14400?) In November of 1989 I moved and shut down High Voltage for good. I sold the 20mb Lt Kernal and the CNET software to another SysOp. What distinguished High Voltage from other BBS' was the amount of personal modifications I made to the software. Since CNET was written in Basic it was realatively easy to make enhancements. CNET could also accept 70byte modules, so new games or utilities could be loaded as the user selected them. We wrote or modified many of these and had many available for use on our BBS. Being a SysOP was a memorable part of my life for 5 years. I have a few web sites today but they do not give me the same feeling as I had during the golden age of the BBS." - Mike Scribner

Buffalo Grove, IL 		CDW Tech BBS
 Dan Rymarz, Jay Duff, Aaron Patrynik
"I ran this BBS for Computer Discount Warehouse (CDW) from 1994 through 1995, while I was a Phone Support/Repair/Install tech. We would post files there for customers to download (before the Internet truly caught on) when they'd call in with problems that required a file to fix. I don't think it was ever advertised (although it may have been listed in the CDW catalogs), and it was never networked (like with FIDO). I have no idea what happened to it after I left, but I think Aaron ran it for a while. Dan Rymarz ran it before I got there until he left. I'm only about 90% sure of that number - haven't called it in a decade!" - Jay Duff

Voted #7 Best Online Service in American by Boardwatch Magazine in 1993. AlphaOne Online still exists, but as AlphaOne Technology, a small, full featured, well supported web hosting & design company at www.alphaone-tech.com." - Toby Schneiter
