I'm drinking a Kirin Ichiban and working on ALLFIX, listening to Art Bell and
all the people in the house are asleep. Reminds me of 1991, when I started the
BBS out of my studio apartment in San Francisco. The BBS ran on a cast-off IBM
AT with 2 30 megabyte drives and a 2400 baud modem. 

My local corner store was the grocery store of choice; moving my car meant a 20
minute circuit looking for another parking place. So, the special on tall
Kirins at the grocery store became the drink of choice.

Good times. The BBS took off, by 1992 I was averaging 50-60 calls a day,
without offline readers.
