RE: CCIE # 30000

I remember all of those. I ran TriBBS with Fido and several doors and even had my fido app kick off a batch file to wake me in the morning with Bohemian Rhapsody off my soundblaster card. One fateful weekend I converted my PC and my foster parent's to OS2 Warp... needless to say I had to convert back quickly for them. I remember RIP and color ANSI graphics. I was always jealous of the BBSes that used WildCat. In the user's group I was in I wrote an article about the internet being the death of the BBS - circa 1995/1996. Needless to say, I was right.
