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 --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 847-251-2307 | Full Service FileGate Hub, Morph, Morph BBS | WILMETTE, IL (1995-1996) SYSOP | Tony Tang --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 847-251-3868 | Poisoned Pen H/P | Wilmette, IL (1994-1999) SYSOP | Insane Lineman SOFTWARE | Renegade --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 847-252-8241 | NEWTON | HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL (1992-1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 847-253-6224 | Mount Prospect Public Library, Mount Prospect Public | Library (B) | ARLINGTON HEIGH, IL (1989-1996) --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 847-256-5928 | Moo N' Oink, Optical Delusion | Wilmette, IL (1995-1999) SYSOP | Stash SOFTWARE | Renegade --------------+----------------------------------------------------------- 847-259-0215 | Arte Graphics, Arte Graphics D.T.P.
