    I also miss the community, and the learning curve that came with setting up a bbs.

    Mark.

    You were more advanced than me, then. I was just a caller, not a
    sysop.
    I might yet become one, though.
    Your friend,

    I don't know if you know/remember Tammy Wilson aka LadyButterfly, who posted on the LionsDen BBS and ran the Tequila Sunrise BBS.. She's her in Ontario now, probably get a kick out of the fact that I bumped into your posts.

    I remember Tammy. I talked to her on the phone once or twice. I came to know her through Trans-Canada net somehow.

    If you know/see her, tell her Hi for me.

    That reminds me of a vacation we took a few years back in the Caribbean (remember when we could go on vacation?) - We were staying in this resort and it seemed like every other person staying there was Canadian. I then bumped into someone I went to high school with and a few days later a old co-worker from a previous job.

    No matter how far from home you get, it seems someone you know will always be around.

    I've kept u weith Tyammy all therse years, including her move back east. . .

    She sends out jokes occasionally from "The Zoo" (what she calls her family, I guess, not a BBS)

    Good people. I never talked to her on a BBS, but sawe her photo in Milky Way filearea: User Phtos & hubba hubba, so I had her in mind & was happy to strikeup a conversation (this was before I was married & before I knew she
    was)

    I'll tell her Squid said hi?

    I never knew you in BBSing days by that name. . .
