	Hmmm..  I wonder if that board was the one sitting next to this here
3b2?  It's called CBBS and was the first one.  Ward and I still run it
as a MESSAGE ONLY BBS with *no* upload / down load.  It has been running
since '78, and heaven help me if I get concerned about all the dust clogging
the winnie, and shut it down for a few hours once or twice a year to do
a P.M. and backup..  My fone rings off the hook with concerned users asking
if CBBS is down or gone away.  
	It has been interesting reading of all the people needing recognition
that they are providing a service.  I didn't realize that I shud be doing
that.  All I worry about is that damned winnie that has been running 
constantly for 6 years, and where am I ever going to get another 5 meg
to replace it?


.. that's the biz, sweetheart...
