I started the BBS on a 286 with a 2400 baud modem. I lived in a studio and
turned the walk-in closet into a BBS nook. When I kept the closet door open, I
could hear the PC fan, and it lulled me to sleep. The chattering of the hard
drive would wake me up when the BBS tossed Fido mail during ZMH, and know I'd
have echomail waiting for me when I woke up.

When the BBS got popular, I'd wake up to find people halfway around thr world
reading messages on the BBS. Good times.
