                                         `---------------'

        iNFERN0^bBS is finally here... but i hear you ask.."how EXACTLY did it get here?" well oki you
        want to know exactly.. i`ll tell you EXACTLY!

        It all started way back in 1993, when i was just an ickle 11 year old kid. I was given this
        big black box, and told to plug it into my brand new unexpanded a1200. I did and then found a
        program called EZ-Comm. I dialed a number and after a load of funny noises saw CONNECT 2400!
        Wow, i thougt.. i`m on someones computer!.. WOW.. And it was from that moment that i was
        hooked. I began to call every BBS i could find the number to and loved every minute of it.
        Then one morning, a white envelope with the words British Telecom printed in yellow changed
        all that. Well they tried, but they failed. Yeah £300 is pretty hard for an 11 year old to find
        but i was let of just this once.. it was put down to excitement and decided that it wouldn`t
        happen again. And for the next phonebill it didn`t. £100 seemed prett resonable. But then a
        few months later, early `94 came the first of the `big uns' £504!.. And my big black box was
        cruelly taken away. But after a few months of persuasion, i was purchased a new, smaller and
        this time white box. With the words USRobotics Sportster 14.4. I had somehow managed to explain
        that the phonebill was so high because i was using slow modem. So off i went again. This time
        calling wasn`t enough. I wanted MY own bbs. And after playing with a copy of MAX`s BBS 1.52
        P.C.I BBS was born. After a few weeks of waiting for an occasional caller, and gathering
        information and ideas. I closed down for 2 months.. and then reopened with a revamped BBS
        pSYCHOS!s bBs. Wow i thought, as i was recieving 5+ calls a day. Then after a year of 5+ calls
        i got bored, and started the calling again.. this time Red Rum and Amiga Web etc.. wasn`t
        enough for me. So i began to call boards in Ozz (missed you glen! :() and America. I was also
        calling out thru peak times. Then THE phonebill came. £1270!! There was no way i`d get out of
        that 1. So again, the modem was taken away and pSYCHOS!s bBs was no more.

        But there was no way i could manage without a bbs... so i gradually payed off the debt.. which
        took longer than i thought,.. like 3 years longer. But then in April 98 I returned. And the BBS
        was all set to open July 1st, but then another delay. The 100% full 1.3gig HD which as well as
        containing the whole 7000+ filebase contained the rest of the bbs as well. After losing
        everything, i considered staying closed for good. But a few people changed my mind, although
        i`m sure i`d have returned sooner or later anyway.

        So iNFERN0^bBS was born on 04/08/98. And is now getting towards 1 months old. For more details
