 WD> Metro HongKong used to be wild with 700 systems, super busy.

 Most of the systems in Metro Manila were run by Chinese Filipinos probably
due to the cost, there were only two expats being a Brit and myself. I can't
really remember but I don't think the Philippines ever had 50 systems even
with the Americans when they had the two bases there.

There was Wildcat 4 BBS run by the son of the head of the Ingleso de Cristo
church which had 10+ free public nodes where one could download almost any
available software at the time. There was never a chance that it would be
raided.

Actually it was quite difficult to connect to a BBS in those days.
