Welcome to Eric the BBS. (yeah yeah, it's still called Eric :)
This is (probably) the last of a long line of BBSes I've run. (if you're
really curious about the history of this place, type history once logged in)
There's no doubt some features missing/bugs to be fixed, let me
know if there's something particulary annoying and I'll see if I can 
fix it.

Tempus,
 
I remember those Bunny Hunts. I never participated - too young to hang
with you guys and too young for a car - but I remember listening to them
on my old CB radio. I also remember the infamous freaks on channel 10
, one of them whos name I forget but who often completely took over the
channel with his powerful setup, playing music and mumbling drunken diatribe
s all night long. I forget his name now. I remember one time he seemed
to have forgotten to unkey his mic and you could hear the conversations
going on in his house.

Hey how are ya?  Too young back then? Hmmm....I don't know about that,I
was 17 when I started and we had some 15's and 14's that sometimes came
along...chances are that nobody would have minded :)...anyway, did you
ever key up and talk to us? And the guy you remember was probably UFO
- he was famous for doing exactly those types of things....good to hear
from you though...still use your rig?

*****************************************************
 
Yeah, I was the president of the KAUG for ages.  Not much happening any
more though.  Most of them have gone on to bigger and better things.
 
I still use my own Adam once in a while though.  Got a few games on it
I enjoy and the database is still as good as anything else I've seen and
to re-input all my data by hand would be a pain, as the Adam disks aren't
MS-DOS compatible.
 
Why do you ask?  You need something for an Adam?  I still got tons of
parts.

Tempus,
 
I had a little handheld CB radio which wasn't very powerful so I never
really did much chatting. If I climbed on the roof of my house I got better
reception, of course. Most of the time I'd just listen as I was a bit
mic shy anyway, and most of the CBers seemed to be adults anyway.
 
Ahhhh.. yes, UFO is the handle I remember! Do you know what happened to
him? Is their still a CB "community" in the city? I don't have a access
to a radio anymore. Even now that I'm older there's no way I'm putting

Tiny,
 
I don't have an ADAM, though I do have an old Colecovision. I just remember
you as the ADAM guy - I seem to remember you getting into debates with
people who derided you for being so dedicated to an "orphan" platform.
 
If I ever see one for sale cheap, I'd probably pick it up just to tinker
around with it. If I recall correctly, those data cassette tapes weren't
very reliable so a real ADAM enthusiast would get a disk drive ASAP.
 
Now that I'm older, I really do enjoy reading and learning about the old
systems. They had so much more character than today's generic Windoze
boxes. I'm feeling sooo old.
