[Moss, Jon]

I was very involved with several BBSes when I lived in Wichita (between '85
and '96).  The one I volunteered on used the MajorBBS system but I was a
member of some WildCat ones.  I remember being a student at Wichita State
University in the mid-80s and e-mailing my uncle, who was an Air Force Lt.
Col. stationed in Aviano, Italy at the time.  We thought it was so cool that
we could nearly "chat" back and forth (about 1-2 minute gap between e-mails)
halfway across the globe.  Of course my Dad that it was quaint because he's
an Amateur Radio operator and was doing packet radio at the time.  I miss
BBSes . . . 

See you all tonight.

Ah -- the good old days.  I remember Howard's BBS back when we moved to
Kansas City back in 1982.  It was wild to see a TRS-80 computer doing what
it was back then. I remember all the "mumbling" about the Internet back in
1993 and thinking "we've been doing this for years!"

I forget also the name of some of the terminal programs, they were just
beginning to be pretty popular when all the stuff was hitting the fan on
Internet access.  Jeez . . . is this a sign of age?  ;-)
