Re: CCIE # 30000

Wildcat was nice and colorful. PCBoard could be customized quite a bit
too.... I used to run Celerity (small-known but colorful like Wildcat)
until the BBS got too bit, then moved to PCBoard. :)

Ahhhhh... The Good Old Days. Back when US Robotics was an AWESOME
company!

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.
