Happy b-day MIDRANGE.COM

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow, that brings me back.  I used to run a WWIV BBS way back.
Can't remember what net I was on, it mighta been Fidonet even. When
we had to build our own network.

And at 2400 baud too.  I used to connect to BBSes for a while on a
(get this) CoCo II at 300 baud.  Then a CoCo III at 300 baud.  Finally
got a 286 and a 1200 baud modem.  Then upgraded to 2400 baud.

I remember looking at files to download and a 1 meg file was something
that would take forever and a day.  Now, I see a 6 meg file and I shrug,

knowing it's going to take a few minutes (at home on 56k).

Regards,

Jim Langston

P.S.  Are there actually any BBSes still out there?
