  • Former GT Power BBS's

    Brian,

    Interesting. There was a MajorBBS system called GT Power BBS out of Southern California back in the early to mid-90s. If I were to guess,
    it wasn't yours.

    The two GT Power BBS's I remember out of California were Bay Window
    BBS in San Francisco, run by Judy Oliphant...and Crossroads BBS in
    San Mateo, run by Bob Wallace. I think Mike Powell is the only one
    running GT Power now, and he's in Kentucky. I still get some GT Power
    echoes via QWK Networking.

    My BBS has always been in Little Rock, Arkansas, and it turns 30 on
    May 1.

    Well, my birthday is just after the vernal equinox...maybe I should drop hints for presents. <G>

    Seriously, I'm too old to cut the mustard, but I can still stir the mayonnaise and lick the jar. So, pass the BLT, onion ring, and Dr. Pepper,
    and no one gets hurt. <G>

    The BBS turns 30 on May 1...I never dreamed it'd last that long.

    Crazy. I just remember the name of it. One of my high school friends, once he was in college, helped run their site. I believe it folded when the feds discovered they were pirating files. :D

    I just have shareware, freeware, and public domain. Where there are
    "keys" are where the authors have released them, as they're no longer developing them. Most of those are for various doorgames, but there is
    a hack key for "TheDraw". I normally create very simple ANSI bulletins,
    with the regular MS-DOS Editor, then add the ANSI escape codes. So, I'm
    no expert with TheDraw by any means.
