Enjoying this stroll down memory lane...
Before there was an internet (at least one that the public had access to), there were BBS systems, which were essentially privately run dial-up networks. I'm sure several people here started there on 9.6K or 14.4k dial-up.
The Bay Area (where I live) had a very progressive network of BBS operators (SYSOPS), that formed a wider network called NirvanaNet. The first BBS that I subscribed to was Burn This Flag (BTF), run by Zardoz.
Those were pretty heady days...lots of "banned" files shared, and anarchist banter. It was fun finding kindred spirits here and there.
With the advent of the internet, the BBS model sort of faded away. Lots of those people are around still, just doing different things.
I must have learned about PK sometime around the mid-90's through BTF. It was a favorite bookmark.
I spend a lot more time working than surfing these days, but it's still fun to go back and see where people who were pioneers in this biz are today.
Good to see that the Persian Kitty is still on the prowl and going strong.
Keep up the good work!!!
Oh yes, and nice pix of the rewards of your labor.
