Yes, the Frequency Forum was my introduction to online forums. I was
using an 8088 at the time. I upgraded to a 286 that I got at a yard sale
for $15. The speed increase was astonishing. Then I got a 68030-based Mac
Performa 467, which is like an LCIII. I used to download files from the
MicroCenter BBS.

I can't remember the name of Dave Aronson's BBS. There was a guy up
around Gettysburg name Roy A. Telleson who was always writing about
various electonics topics.

That was years ago, wasn't it?
