              | forced shutdown.  Inactive. Plan to re-activate at some
              | point and update MM Mods and all hardware and software.
              | Former Owner Susan Jasper aka "Krystal" or "Jade", Passed
              | away after an extended illness on February 02, 2007.
              | Black Jade Arena BBS was originally owned by Pagan and
              | Natalie from Northern Virgina in the 80's and ran on an
              | Intel 486 100mhz PC, with a Boca Board and a dozen or so
              | ZOOM 28.8 and 56k modems.  Susan bought the BBS and moved
              | it to her Rockville, Maryland home, and it ran there for
              | a number of years. Later, it was Moved to Olney,
              | Maryland.  Here it ran for a short period of time on 128k
              | ISDN. After we encountered the high expenses of ISDN and
              | BBS income shortfalls, (No one was paying fees) and many
              | other technical issues with the server itself, ***no
              | backups***, persistent hardware and data failures, other
              | Sysop and Co-Sysop arguments) after all of this, it was
              | shut down.  Updated 04/27/08 by Donculo6y. Current Sysop-
              | Owner.  I'd like to thank Don B., Nate, Darrel, Matt for
              | all the help with the BBS back in 1999 when it was moved
              | to Olney." - Donculo6y

 928-342-5170 | The Cactus Patch TBBS (CPTBBS)
              | Yuma, AZ      (1980-2001)
        SYSOP | Larry Wall 
     SOFTWARE | TBBS MultiLine 
     COMMENTS | "This BBS originally started out with software written by
              | myself on a TRS-80 Model I at 110-300 baud. The 1st
              | commercial BBS software used was the InfoEx-80 Software,
              | Then we put the Greene Machine online. Finally after
              | looking over the TBBS software and its abilities in 1984
              | we went to the TBBS software because of its lightening
              | speed. Our TRS-80 Model III at the time started to fail.
              | We then switched to the TBBS-PC software and became a
              | beta test site for the TBBS software. Sometime in 1986 we
              | started testing the MultiLine TBBS software. This labor
              | of love lasted until the great interest of the InterNet
              | struck.  People had a hard time supporting the local
              | hobbiest BBS' but they surely had no problem migrating to
              | the InterNet. Finally, after a thunderstorm came through
              | the area, the CPTBBS' computer would not come back up.
              | With no support, after 21yrs, September of 2001 the
              | Cactus Patch TBBS surrendered its telephone lines. There
              | were a great number of super BBS Sysops around the
              | country. In 1988 Phil Becker had the 1st TUG (TBBS User's
              | Group) converge on a motel in the Denver area. It was a
              | power charged meeting of very knowledgable people..."
              | Just recently the CPTBBS has been put back online via
              | telnet.  This means it can be freely accessed from
              | anywhere in the world.  Come Join us in the recreation of
              | the BBS trend!  Larry Wall CPTBBS - Sysop - Telnet:
