Maybe. Could be. Perhaps. Who knows?

When will yours be ready?

I'll probably have Roughneck BBS back online before the end of the
year... and maybe have a little of https://bbs.land/ developed.

I recently spoke to an old sysop friend of mine who didn't know bbs's were still
around. He ran a wildcat box and had two dialup nodes and provided an internet connection. I used it in college in the early two-thousands because I couldn't afford an internet connection.

I think our conversation sparked interest in his mind to revive his
board. Fingers crossed.

I found BBS: The Documentary in 2007, and that got me interested in running a BBS again, after I realized BBSes were still around on the internet. It's interesting that there are some old sysops who still don't realize BBSes are still around.

Back in May I caught up with an old frined on Facebook, and asked how things were going with getting his Amiga BBS online again. A hardware failure set
him back, and recently he found replacement parts. During the restart something happened to make his hard drives unreadable. he found some tape backups he made, but it appears something else is wrong, such as missing volumes.

I wrote many papers as a result of the research I conducted off that internet connection he provided.

Yeah. He's busy renting out his cabins up in the Sierra near tahoe. He still uses his old domain from the bbs. Anyway, from the interest in his voice I hope he re-launches his old board.

During those years, flash drives were still in the dozens of megabytes. I wished
that flash drives would hit a gig in size at some point becasue my dialup speed was too slow to download iso images of ubuntu.

I had to use my school's internet to get the files downloaded but the pc's didn't have cd burners and 1gb flash drives were still hundreds of dollars.

Anyway, he went to his ISP (where he did IT work in exchange for free internet) and downloaded the file for me.

The days.
