I get nostalgic for my Atari 800 system a couple times a year. I even bough another one on eBay recently. I use to run a BBS called "Hart City" on my 800 and later on my IBM clone. I'm an IT manager now and I love new technology but I have to say things were a lot more fun in the BBS days. I also sold some of my programs through the shareware channel. I remember how exciting it was having someone half a world away log in to my BBS or send me a check for $10. I also remember how much fun it was pouring over the AMIS BBS code looking for ways to customize my BBS so it would offer features other BBS's didn't have.
Glad to know I'm not alone. Thanks for the memories!
