Editor's Welcome
|

|
|
----------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Another month has flown by and it is time for another issue of the Pasco BBS
|
|||
|
|
Magazine. This month continues our extensive coverage of ONE BBSCON '93.
|
|||
|
|
BBSCON Day Two tells of the some of the lighter moments from the event, and of
|
|||
|
|
some of my own experiences in Colorado Springs. I hope you will enjoy it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We have added another International Distribution Site, this one is north of
|
|||
|
|
the border in Canada. Thank you to Odyssey Systems, the latest member of the
|
|||
|
|
Pasco BBS Magazine family. I want to thank all the Distribution Sites for
|
|||
|
|
their help. The Distribution gets pretty hectic, and I do not always have
|
|||
|
|
time to say thanks, but I do appreciate it!

The BBSCON Day Two
|
|||
|
|
------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
BBSCON Day Two. No this article is not about the second day of the largest
|
|||
|
|
gathering of BBS enthusiasts ever assembled, but rather a lighter look at the
|
|||
|
|
event held this August in Colorado Springs. These are some of my
|
|||
|
|
recollections about an incredible week. Yes, it may seem more like random
|
|||
|
|
ramblings, and admittedly there is some ranting and raving as well.
|
|||
|
|
Sometimes this article might seem like a travelog, but it does give a pretty
|
|||
|
|
good taste of what went down at the ONE BBSCON. For those who were lucky
|
|||
|
|
enough to attend, it may bring back some memories. For those who missed it,
|
|||
|
|
here is some of what you missed at ONE BBSCON '93.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
First some quick background on the BBSCON. The very first Online Networking
|
|||
|
|
Exposition and BBS Convention, or ONE BBSCON, was held last year in Denver.
|
|||
|
|
This August they returned to Colorado to stage the sequel. They being Jack
|
|||
|
|
Rickard and Phil Becker, the ones who dreamt up the idea. Jack Rickard is the
|
|||
|
|
editor of the leading BBS related magazine today, Boardwatch Magazine. Phil
|
|||
|
|
Becker is the author of the TBBS Bulletin Board Software and is president of
|
|||
|
|
eSoft, Inc. They wanted to bring together all the different manufactures,
|
|||
|
|
system operators, and others interested in the on-line world. They succeeded
|
|||
|
|
resoundingly. There was almost two thousand people, and all their various
|
|||
|
|
loyalties and viewpoints strengthened the event.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The trip started out at the Tampa International Airport. I wanted to get
|
|||
|
|
some gum for the flight, primarily because you are no longer allowed to smoke
|
|||
|
|
on airplanes. I was amazed that the airport didn't sell gum. An airport
|
|||
|
|
that doesn't sell gum? Doesn't gum and flying traditionally go together?
|
|||
|
|
TIA was worried about their precious carpet. At least you could have a
|
|||
|
|
cigarette while waiting for the plane, unlike the Dallas/Fort Worthless
|
|||
|
|
Airport. You cannot smoke in the entire airport! Geez, I hate that place.
|
|||
|
|
One thing I can say about the Colorado Springs airport is they have gum and
|
|||
|
|
you can smoke, by far the best airport of the trip!

The flight itself had the required glitch, do they intentionally have to have
|
|||
|
|
a hitch so people writing about the flight can have an additional paragraph?
|
|||
|
|
We sat on the ground in Dallas for an hour while the mechanics replaced a
|
|||
|
|
sensor. When the pilot informed us of the delay, there was a alarm sounding
|
|||
|
|
over the PA system. Sounded somewhat like the Star Trek warning alarm, or
|
|||
|
|
maybe like the robot on Lost in Space. Half expected the Lost in Space robot
|
|||
|
|
to run down the aisles shooting 'warning, warning.' Did at least have time
|
|||
|
|
to go outside in the 95 degree heat of the Texas summer and sweat with the
|
|||
|
|
other smokers. Anyway, they finally got the part for the plane and we were
|
|||
|
|
on our way. It was nice to leave, but unfortunately, the return flight also
|
|||
|
|
had a stop in Dallas/Ft. Worthless. I think next time I fly, I'll choose an
|
|||
|
|
airline which doesn't go through that place.

The ONE BBSCON was held at the historic Broadmoor Hotel, a five star hotel
|
|||
|
|
located in suburban Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs is the second largest
|
|||
|
|
city in the state, with a population of almost 400,000 in the greater
|
|||
|
|
metropolitan area. The military is the largest industry, employing one of
|
|||
|
|
every five area residents, and Colorado's most visited man-made attraction is
|
|||
|
|
the United States Air Force Academy. The city is also known as "The Amateur
|
|||
|
|
Sports Capital of America," and is home to the United States Olympic Training
|
|||
|
|
Center. Tourism is the second largest industry in Colorado Springs, as there
|
|||
|
|
are over 50 major area attractions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
What did you get for the registration fee? There was one hundred and thirty
|
|||
|
|
something educational sessions on a wide range of on-line topics. Obviously
|
|||
|
|
it would be impossible for someone to attend every session, or every session
|
|||
|
|
they wanted to see, but you could buy audio tapes. Which reminds me, I am
|
|||
|
|
still waiting for an order form from that tape company. It is almost two
|
|||
|
|
months now, they didn't seem too organized, and the lines moved painfully
|
|||
|
|
slow. There was also the vendor exhibits, which was the a trade show aspect
|
|||
|
|
of the convention. There were parties and other assorted meetings. When you
|
|||
|
|
first registered, you where handed your ONE BBSCON Bag with all kinds of
|
|||
|
|
assorted goodies. There was a program with an $8 price on it, a coffee mug
|
|||
|
|
with the convention logo implanted on it, a really nice notebook and pen, and
|
|||
|
|
couple of other things I've forgotten. I think if you register early, it is a
|
|||
|
|
pretty fair deal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Everyone has their stories of meeting people at the ONE BBSCON. No matter
|
|||
|
|
what people thought of the other aspects of the convention, and occasionally
|
|||
|
|
complaints were heard, the opportunity to meet others involved in BBSing was
|
|||
|
|
the most enjoyable part of the event. My own experiences ranged from meeting
|
|||
|
|
Rob Marlowe who operates the oldest board right here in Pasco County, to
|
|||
|
|
having lunch with Ward Christensen who set up the first BBS itself. Most
|
|||
|
|
everybody was so approachable, and eager to share their thoughts, that
|
|||
|
|
meeting people was the unanimous highlight of BBSCON.

What type of person attends a convention about bulletin boards? The
|
|||
|
|
overwhelming majority were white males in their thirties. I don't have any
|
|||
|
|
analysis of this fact, but thought I'd mention it. Despite a dress code at
|
|||
|
|
some of the restaurants at the Broadmoor, most of the dress was causal. There
|
|||
|
|
was one guy, with a name tag which read "Dr. Cat," who was dressed in a
|
|||
|
|
Japanese Kamona all week. Other than that, everyone seemed fairly "normal."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When I checked into the Hampton Inn, which was about $100 a day cheaper than
|
|||
|
|
staying at the Broadmoor, there where several Sysops chatting in the lobby.
|
|||
|
|
Since the Hampton did not have a bar, the lobby was one place to meet people.
|
|||
|
|
There was a Continental Breakfast each morning and people were always hanging
|
|||
|
|
around waiting for the next shuttle. After putting my bags away, I went down
|
|||
|
|
to the lobby for the first time. Two of the first people I met were Bert
|
|||
|
|
Rozenberg, who runs a large multi-line board in The Netherlands, and a friend
|
|||
|
|
of his who runs a 30 line BBS in Athens, Greece. As we sat there, smoking in
|
|||
|
|
the no smoking lobby, it was extremely interesting conversation. As it
|
|||
|
|
turned out, the Hampton seemed to be the home base for many of the Major BBS
|
|||
|
|
Software people.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The first official get together was the Welcoming Reception held on the eve of
|
|||
|
|
the BBSCON on the Broadmoor's Lake Terrace. With the great scenery and
|
|||
|
|
atmosphere, the crowd of BBS enthusiasts enjoyed a special night. Dan Linton
|
|||
|
|
of Software Creations was there, thanks for the shirt! I also met Dave White
|
|||
|
|
in person for the first time. Dave is the Sysop of the CyberScape BBS, which
|
|||
|
|
is the board that hosts the Live On-Line Interviews, or as it is called in the
|
|||
|
|
Pasco BBS Magazine, The Best of CyberScape LIVE! Joe Siegler, who helped with
|
|||
|
|
the Wolfenstein story in the May Pasco BBS Magazine, was there and talking
|
|||
|
|
about Apogee games. Joe was talking about how popular the Goof Fish was from
|
|||
|
|
Commander Keen: Good Bye Galaxy, and of a few game secrets. If you are
|
|||
|
|
familiar with Good Bye Galaxy, you know how Keen will take out a book and flip
|
|||
|
|
through the pages if you don't touch the keyboard for a moment. Try it in the
|
|||
|
|
Pyramid of the Moons, and at an area with a moon on the floor, and see what
|
|||
|
|
happens. Maybe some have already discovered this bit of Apogee humor. One
|
|||
|
|
last note on the Welcoming Reception, and something that maybe few knew about,
|
|||
|
|
but most would have loved to have seen. Ward Christensen, the man who wrote
|
|||
|
|
the first bulletin board software, played some blues on one of the pianos at
|
|||
|
|
the Broadmoor after most of the guest had left. Like I said, it was a special
|
|||
|
|
night.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Looking out the motel window Thursday morning did give a wonderful view of the
|
|||
|
|
American flag whipping in the wind with the mountains in the background. That
|
|||
|
|
same wind was blowing in a weather system which, unfortunately, would affect
|
|||
|
|
the area weather for the duration of the stay. There was a very dark, very
|
|||
|
|
ominous sky rolling in over the mountains, but it was still a great view
|
|||
|
|
despite what the sky foretold. The nasty weather ended up being more of a
|
|||
|
|
nuisance than anything else.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At the Welcoming Session all the Sysops were asked to stand, then have a seat
|
|||
|
|
when the year their system began was announced. Ward Christian was the last
|
|||
|
|
one standing and got up to say a few words. "When I started all of this, one
|
|||
|
|
of my greatest joys was over-hearing someone talking about micro-computers,
|
|||
|
|
or knowing anything about technology, because it was so rare. You'd be
|
|||
|
|
walking down the street, or in a bus or something, and like one time every
|
|||
|
|
four months you'd find someone. Walking out of the hotel today the bell-man
|
|||
|
|
(looking at Christensen's T-shirt) said 'oh, nice fractal!'"

Jim Harrer, of Mustang Software, asked for all Sysops to stand up for a
|
|||
|
|
second time at the Welcoming Session. By having the Sysops sit as the number
|
|||
|
|
of users announced increased, it was hoped we'd all find out which board had
|
|||
|
|
the most users. Harrer remarked "Prodigy, we don't count...CompuServe, uh uh,
|
|||
|
|
we're interested in real BBS Sysops!" After a rousing cheer, the experiment
|
|||
|
|
revealed that Software Creations had 62,000 users.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dave Hughes, Sr. of Old Colorado City Communications was the highlight of the
|
|||
|
|
Welcoming Session. Known as the Cursor Cowboy, this colorful Colorado
|
|||
|
|
Springs resident talked about the site for the convention. "I don't want you
|
|||
|
|
to get the wrong idea. You see because this is all up-scale, dress code,
|
|||
|
|
Broadmoor Hotel, come on! Don't lose the grip on where you came from, the
|
|||
|
|
grass roots, and I still champion it."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Jack Rickard started off the BBSing for Profit Session talking about Sysops
|
|||
|
|
who want to make their system look like a "professional service." He went on
|
|||
|
|
to explain, "the problem with that is CompuServe and Prodigy and so forth,
|
|||
|
|
they're trying to figure out how to put personally in them so it would be
|
|||
|
|
like a bulletin board." The BBSing for Profit Sessions, known as the Jack
|
|||
|
|
and Phil show, did offer some excellent tips for Sysops, but a lot of the
|
|||
|
|
material had been covered in a Boardwatch Magazine article a couple of years
|
|||
|
|
back. The BBSing for Profit Sessions were well attended.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Broadmoor hosted most of the public parties held after the daily sessions.
|
|||
|
|
This was another great opportunity to mingle and sometimes these hospitality
|
|||
|
|
suites were just jammed with people. ZyXEL had the most distinctive party, a
|
|||
|
|
wild west theme, including clever promotions and very spicy food. All had
|
|||
|
|
some sort of free food and a couple even had an open bar for the first hour.
|
|||
|
|
The party experience was, one minute feeling tired and thinking that you
|
|||
|
|
should catch the next shuttle bus, and the next minute you're talking about
|
|||
|
|
Dr. Who with Norm Henkle of mega-board PC-Ohio.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The vendor exhibits ran all day Friday and Saturday, and most people would
|
|||
|
|
make more than one pass through the two exhibits areas. The first place I
|
|||
|
|
went on Friday morning was the Association of Shareware Professionals booth,
|
|||
|
|
which was being manned by Clint Bradford. Clint is the Sysop of Attention to
|
|||
|
|
Details RyBBS in California, an ASP Hub and a Pasco BBS Magazine Distribution
|
|||
|
|
Site. He was another person I've talked to several times, but had never met
|
|||
|
|
before. Clint had prepared some fliers for the magazine and had them on the
|
|||
|
|
table for people to take. I took a few. He did a great job! I also know he
|
|||
|
|
worked hard at the ASP booth over those two days. I hung around a little,
|
|||
|
|
talking to some people about the magazine and even won a Wolfenstein T-Shirt
|
|||
|
|
in one of Clint's drawings!

Every vendor exhibit had something free for the taking. Even if it was just
|
|||
|
|
brochures and pamphlets, or better yet program disks, there was tons of free
|
|||
|
|
stuff handed out. Some of the better items were T-shirts and hats, some of
|
|||
|
|
which were also available for purchase. The TeleGrafic Communications people
|
|||
|
|
had a pretty nice shirt about RIPscript that read "I got RIPped at the
|
|||
|
|
BBSCON." Hayes gave away neat little screw drivers, phillips head on one end
|
|||
|
|
and standard head on the other. Somebody was passing out "BBS Jumping
|
|||
|
|
Beans." The beans, pieces of plastic, would "jump" when they were flipped
|
|||
|
|
inside out and placed on a hard surface. The ad said "amuse yourself while
|
|||
|
|
waiting for that long download."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
John Dvorak was quite funny at the awards presentation named after him. He
|
|||
|
|
said he was working on a column on how "the Internet was going to clog-up any
|
|||
|
|
minute." When Dr. Vinton Cerf accepted an award on behalf of Internet, he
|
|||
|
|
said "we will put a scanned image of it up on the Internet, and make it
|
|||
|
|
available for everyone to look at." Leading Dvorak to reply "a scanned image
|
|||
|
|
on the Internet, more junk on the Internet." He also said he found some
|
|||
|
|
stickers on one of the tables which read "Texas Association of Police and
|
|||
|
|
Sheriffs," and was passing them out to the award recipients so they "would
|
|||
|
|
never get a ticket." Writer John Markoff was not present to receive his
|
|||
|
|
award, but Dvorak joked "it's kind of a buddy award. He owes me one now."
|
|||
|
|
John Dvorak also said he called CompuServe from the command line.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It certainly was one of those weeks were everybody was talking about the
|
|||
|
|
weather, and not just the generally lousy weather in Colorado Springs. David
|
|||
|
|
Carlson of the Electronic Tribune commented during the Guerrilla Marketing
|
|||
|
|
Your BBS Session that he thought the big news story of the day was "the
|
|||
|
|
hurricane heading towards...my new home in Florida." With Hurricane Emily
|
|||
|
|
projected to take a path just north of last year's Hurricane Andrew, and the
|
|||
|
|
Colorado Springs TV news showing people in South Florida preparing to take
|
|||
|
|
another hit, he wasn't the only one thinking about home in Florida. After
|
|||
|
|
all, Hurricane Andrew's path of destruction was south of Pasco County. As it
|
|||
|
|
turned out, Hurricane Emily went much further north than Florida.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One thing I forgot to mention earlier was that registration also included a
|
|||
|
|
buffet style lunch every day, and snacks between sessions. The food was not
|
|||
|
|
bad, but the lines, especially at lunch, were long. Sometimes it paid to
|
|||
|
|
check out another building, since lunch was being served at more than one
|
|||
|
|
location, maybe the lines would be shorter.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It was a beautiful lunch time view. It may have been another gray day, but
|
|||
|
|
the clouds rolling through the mountains was an inspiring sight. Ward
|
|||
|
|
Christensen, looking for a place to have lunch himself, asked if he could join
|
|||
|
|
me in watching the view. "Please do" was my obvious response. We talked
|
|||
|
|
about the beautiful scenery and about the first BBS. His educational session
|
|||
|
|
on the history of the first BBS was scheduled for right after lunch, so I did
|
|||
|
|
get a preview of some of the topics. For two guys from a relatively flat
|
|||
|
|
place like Chicago (even if one has transplanted to an even flatter place like
|
|||
|
|
Florida) the view keep coming up in the conversation. Ward Christensen talked
|
|||
|
|
of a computer program which generated fractal images of mountains like the
|
|||
|
|
ones we were enjoying. We also shared the concern that adult boards could
|
|||
|
|
ruin this business for everybody, which was something he also commented on
|
|||
|
|
during his session. He went to get some desert and the next time I saw him
|
|||
|
|
was at the session at the Broadmoor's theater.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ward Christensen began his session about the first BBS, "I hope you all had a
|
|||
|
|
good lunch, and were able to find it. Didn't have to move too far, I had to
|
|||
|
|
move about two buildings down to find my dessert." He also had some
|
|||
|
|
interesting comments on what a BBS should be. "I don't feel this real
|
|||
|
|
strongly, but it makes a good story, if it's not free and on-line, it's not a
|
|||
|
|
BBS, or something like that. I coined the term, so I guess I get to define
|
|||
|
|
what it is."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I have to give most of the speakers credit, as they were eager to reveal many
|
|||
|
|
of the secrets to their success. The Subscription Success Roundtable Session
|
|||
|
|
did yield some humorous moments. During a discussion of verification and the
|
|||
|
|
fictitious names that some people use to log on with Ken Behrns, Sysop of the
|
|||
|
|
Aquila BBS, said "Elvis was on ours." Later, Dan Linton talked about adding
|
|||
|
|
more phone lines in the small town of Clinton, Massachusetts. "When they had
|
|||
|
|
the streets blocked off to put that cable in, the contractor basically asked
|
|||
|
|
me where all the people were going to sit in my living room
|
|||
|
|
to answer all those phones."

There were some sessions and discussions on forming a national trade
|
|||
|
|
organization for the BBS industry. The legitimate concern is that laws are
|
|||
|
|
being written without any input from the BBS community, and that this growing
|
|||
|
|
industry needs some sort of lobbying effort to insure proper representation.
|
|||
|
|
One of the things which helped increase the interest in forming a national
|
|||
|
|
association was an article in the Sunday Boston Globe which ran right before
|
|||
|
|
the BBSCON. The article written by Josh Hyatt talked of the plight of
|
|||
|
|
Channel 1 BBS in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Channel 1 is being used as a test
|
|||
|
|
case in Massachusetts for additional taxation, not that taxation is new to
|
|||
|
|
that state. After several meetings, the formation of The Online Media
|
|||
|
|
Association was announced. While few concrete details were announced, a
|
|||
|
|
steering committee was selected to do the groundwork. It will be interesting
|
|||
|
|
to see if anything comes of it, as the initial criticism was that the
|
|||
|
|
association seemed to be trying to be all things to all people. We'll see
|
|||
|
|
what happens. Certainly want to wish the OMA good luck!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Another aspect of the convention was known as "Birds of a Feather" sessions.
|
|||
|
|
People who had common interests could schedule their own session and post the
|
|||
|
|
time on a public message board. The BBSCON organizers thought that gave
|
|||
|
|
people a chance to "roll their own" convention, if they felt a particular
|
|||
|
|
subject should have been covered. There were several different public and
|
|||
|
|
private sessions, including one discussing technology for displaying on-line
|
|||
|
|
magazines. The guys who set up the session thought that they would be the
|
|||
|
|
only ones to show up, but there was over a dozen of us who went to the
|
|||
|
|
session. Some day soon, on-line publications may be multi-media shows with
|
|||
|
|
sound and motion.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Surprisingly, there was little or no publicity about ONE BBSCON in the local
|
|||
|
|
media. Those removed from the event where more interested in the Rockies or
|
|||
|
|
Broncos. I did see the tail end of a pre-season game where the Broncos got
|
|||
|
|
blasted by Phoenix, and in a cab ride to the airport a cabbie agreed that the
|
|||
|
|
Broncos fate rested solely with the arm of John Elway. The local papers
|
|||
|
|
talked of the upcoming Air Force football season and of some great Falcon
|
|||
|
|
teams of the past. The brand new expansion Colorado Rockies baseball team is
|
|||
|
|
very popular, but some were surprised that not everyone in Florida loves the
|
|||
|
|
Miami Mullets.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Many of the BBSCON guests took time to take in the local sights, including
|
|||
|
|
sampling limited stakes gambling in nearby Cripple Creek. In November of
|
|||
|
|
1990 Colorado voters authorized limited stakes gambling in several old mining
|
|||
|
|
towns. Since October of 1991 Cripple Creek, along with Central City and Black
|
|||
|
|
Hawk outside of Denver, now bristle with activity. The effort has not been
|
|||
|
|
without it's growing pains. There are strict zoning restrictions in Cripple
|
|||
|
|
Creek, primarily to maintain the historic look of the town, and these
|
|||
|
|
restrictions are hampering growth. Large casino operators want to move into
|
|||
|
|
the area, but locals want to preserve the national historic status of the
|
|||
|
|
town. Last year Federal officials threatened to revoke the historic status if
|
|||
|
|
new construction started ruining the character of Cripple Creek. There are
|
|||
|
|
still some bugs to workout, but Cripple Creek residents feel Governor Roy
|
|||
|
|
Romer is the primary problem. Governor Romer is a longtime opponent of
|
|||
|
|
legalized gambling and didn't even visit the casinos during their first two
|
|||
|
|
years of operation.

Driving west out of Colorado Springs on US 24 gives a magnificent view of one
|
|||
|
|
of the world's most famous mountains, Pike's Peak. The peak was first sighted
|
|||
|
|
by Zebulon Montgomery Pike, an American explorer and army officer, in 1806.
|
|||
|
|
The mountain's elevation is not the highest in the state, 14,100 feet, but it
|
|||
|
|
is well-known for the annual auto race and an exceptional view. The Pike's
|
|||
|
|
Peak Auto Hill Climb dates back to 1916, and it is the second oldest race in
|
|||
|
|
the United States after the Indianapolis 500. Spencer Penrose, builder of the
|
|||
|
|
Broadmoor Hotel, first staged the international event to publicize the region.

Some very big names in the world of auto racing have raced in the Fourth of
|
|||
|
|
July event, the likes of Mario Andretti, Bobby Unser, Rick Mears and Parnelli
|
|||
|
|
Jones. There was snow in the higher elevations, which did disappoint some by
|
|||
|
|
closing down the Pike's Peak Highway for awhile. The leaves were just barely
|
|||
|
|
starting to change color, how wonderful this area must look in the fall.
|
|||
|
|
Something I had not personally seen in a while were birch trees.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Driving in Colorado can be a bit of an experience. State Road 67, which heads
|
|||
|
|
south towards Cripple Creek, is the type of road that one would expect to find
|
|||
|
|
in the mountains. It is all two lane paved road, but there are treacherous
|
|||
|
|
mountain curves and drop-offs of thousands of feet. The Colorado Department
|
|||
|
|
of Transportation doesn't waste any money on things like signage or guard-
|
|||
|
|
rail. The road can be dangerous when the locals try to pass the pokey
|
|||
|
|
tourists, as there may be a lot of right-of-way, but unfortunately it is
|
|||
|
|
straight down. I would also think Colorado's drunk driver problem would
|
|||
|
|
correct itself. One tip for those who may be renting a car in the mountains,
|
|||
|
|
bring a cassette tape or two.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Cripple Creek sits at an elevation of 9,494 feet and has an ice cream parlor
|
|||
|
|
advertising "Two Mile High Ice Cones." It is no Las Vegas, and it is hard to
|
|||
|
|
call something without a craps table a casino, but Cripple Creek is well worth
|
|||
|
|
the trip. The limited stakes, $5 maximum bet, blackjack, poker and various
|
|||
|
|
slots, can be frustrating. When you start winning the natural tendency is to
|
|||
|
|
start increasing your bets, but the limit makes it hard to win big. If I was
|
|||
|
|
in Las Vegas I would have played a few large hands right before leaving town,
|
|||
|
|
in an attempt to pay for the trip. However, with the $5 limit, and the fact I
|
|||
|
|
had a plane to catch, I just cashed in my pocket full of green $25 chips. It
|
|||
|
|
is probably the state's loss, as I would have played green until I had won
|
|||
|
|
substantially, or lost all my winnings. Despite paying $90 for a room without
|
|||
|
|
air conditioning, and dealing with the frustration of trying to park, Cripple
|
|||
|
|
Creek was a great way to relax and forget about bulletin boards for a while.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Just want to squeeze in a couple of quick comments about the rental car. Some
|
|||
|
|
how it seems blatantly obscene for an American car rental company to be
|
|||
|
|
renting Japanese cars. "But I think the car is made in Ohio" was the clerk's
|
|||
|
|
response. "Maybe, but the profits are going back to Japan" was mine. I don't
|
|||
|
|
want to name the company, suffice to say it hurts. And, has anyone actually
|
|||
|
|
rented a car for a day and paid the advertised $18.99? My cost: $62.32.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I couldn't get all the disks, books, fliers and other accumulated treasures in
|
|||
|
|
my luggage, so I carried on most of that in my ONE BBSCON bag. The bag had a
|
|||
|
|
bunch of computer program disks and a half dozen or so micro audio cassettes,
|
|||
|
|
so I was reluctant to have it scanned at the airport. Despite being told that
|
|||
|
|
the x-ray equipment wouldn't hurt anything, I felt like I was being told, 'oh
|
|||
|
|
that dog never bites.' Better safe than sorry. The Scanner Supervisor, or
|
|||
|
|
want ever you called the person who is in charge, said "this will probably
|
|||
|
|
take awhile," in an effort to deter my determination. I replied, "I don't
|
|||
|
|
mind sir, I have three hours before my flight." After a dirty look, he told
|
|||
|
|
me to empty the contents on the table. I had to laugh when I saw a couple of
|
|||
|
|
other people put security through the exact same exercise.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I had a few days off to reflect on the events of the week before having to get
|
|||
|
|
back to the daily grind. It was a great week with many fond memories,
|
|||
|
|
sometimes it is hard to believe everything that happened. Met some
|
|||
|
|
interesting people and gathered some good information. Next year the event is
|
|||
|
|
headed to Atlanta, and it will be here before we know it. My own personal
|
|||
|
|
opinion is that while Atlanta is much closer, is not nearly as intriguing as
|
|||
|
|
Colorado Springs. The great scenery of the Rocky Mountains and the
|
|||
|
|
opportunity to relax playing a few hands of blackjack is something Atlanta
|
|||
|
|
cannot compete with. Add in the fact that this was my first trip to BBSCON
|
|||
|
|
and it will be tough to top. The truth of the matter is it will be hard to
|
|||
|
|
keep me away from ONE BBSCON '94.

Dennis Hayes and ISDN
|
|||
|
|
---------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Dennis Hayes received a well deserved Lifetime Achievement Award during
|
|||
|
|
the Dvorak Awards at this year's ONE BBSCON in Colorado Springs. He was one
|
|||
|
|
of the earliest pioneers of modem technology and founded Hayes Microcomputer
|
|||
|
|
Products, Inc. in 1978. Today, the company continues to be a leader in modem
|
|||
|
|
development. Dennis Hayes also spoke at the convention on the future of
|
|||
|
|
telecommunications in an educational session called An Overview of ISDN
|
|||
|
|
Deployment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ISDN stands for the Integrated Services Digital Network, a new telephone
|
|||
|
|
technology which will dramatically increase the capabilities of modern
|
|||
|
|
telecommunications. What exactly is ISDN? Dennis Hayes explains, "ISDN is a
|
|||
|
|
regular telephone service capability that comes in on a twisted pair of
|
|||
|
|
telephone lines. But, on that twisted pair of telephone lines you run in the
|
|||
|
|
digital mode."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The existing technology is reaching its limitations, and this new technology
|
|||
|
|
will increase the amount of data which can be transmitted on-line. The day is
|
|||
|
|
coming when we will no longer need a modem to call a bulletin board. Dennis
|
|||
|
|
Hayes continues, "we have seen speeds increasing very rapidly. Basically the
|
|||
|
|
speed of the device you have on your desk-top to work with a PC has been
|
|||
|
|
doubling every eighteen months. We have been working very much on V.FAST, and
|
|||
|
|
as an interim V.FC, as a way to get 28.8. Now the 28.8 is still going to be
|
|||
|
|
less than half the speed of ISDN, but it is something that you can use
|
|||
|
|
everywhere even if you don't have ISDN available. Modems will coexist with
|
|||
|
|
ISDN, I think, for quite some time. Probably the top speed available is going
|
|||
|
|
to be the 28.8. Files are getting bigger, application programs are getting
|
|||
|
|
bigger. A number of interesting applications have been developed that are
|
|||
|
|
possible at ISDN speeds, that just aren't possible at regular modem speeds."
|
|||
|
|
Dennis Hayes also talked, in some detail, about how the transition period will
|
|||
|
|
work.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When will you see ISDN in your area and how can you find out? Dennis Hayes
|
|||
|
|
joked "if you're a glutton for punishment, you can try calling your local
|
|||
|
|
telephone company." The availability of ISDN actually depends on where you
|
|||
|
|
live. Some telephones companies are forging ahead with the deployment of the
|
|||
|
|
ISDN technology, but others are dragging their heels. Bell Atlantic expects
|
|||
|
|
to have 87% of the conversion completed by next year and Ameritech should have
|
|||
|
|
78% complete by 1994. If you are stuck with General Telephone, it could be
|
|||
|
|
some time before you see ISDN. GTE expects to have a mere 16% of the
|
|||
|
|
installation in place by next year.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ISDN may someday give us the ability to transmit data at 56 kilo-bytes, an
|
|||
|
|
unheard of speed of not so long ago. No one may be more qualified to discuss
|
|||
|
|
what brought us to this point than Dennis Hayes.

Billy the Kid Returns Review
|
|||
|
|
----------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Billy the Kid Returns, the latest release from Alive Software, is a Western
|
|||
|
|
arcade game. The Shareware version has the first three of the ten levels to
|
|||
|
|
sample, and it is worth checking out.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You are fifteen year old William Bonney, who is better known as Billy the Kid.
|
|||
|
|
The first level is "Escape from Silver City Prison," which takes place in 1875
|
|||
|
|
New Mexico. Trying to find your way out of the prison is a little tricky, and
|
|||
|
|
at first you may be unable to even find your way out of your cell. But, if
|
|||
|
|
you jump high to the right you can break through the crumbling walls. After
|
|||
|
|
escaping from prison you find yourself in the second level, "Alone in the
|
|||
|
|
Desert." This level plays more like an invaders type game than your typical
|
|||
|
|
run, jump and shoot game. You work your way through the desert by avoiding
|
|||
|
|
the buffaloes, desperadoes, sand storms, horse thieves and rattle snakes. In
|
|||
|
|
level three, "Old Man's Mine," you have to watch out for the rats and other
|
|||
|
|
objects in your attempt to solve the level. The object of the game, other
|
|||
|
|
than staying alive, is to collect at least ten keys, so you can exit to the
|
|||
|
|
next level. Of course, there are valuables, such as guns, money, gold, food
|
|||
|
|
and water to gather as you go.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Bill Dedes has written an enjoyable game. For those who are worried about
|
|||
|
|
senseless violence, Billy the Kid Returns even has a "no-gun option." The
|
|||
|
|
game does require a 286 microprocessor or better, and supports sound cards and
|
|||
|
|
a joystick. Registration gives the full ten levels and cheat codes for the
|
|||
|
|
game.

A Few More Acronyms
|
|||
|
|
-------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Past issues have run some common acronyms used in BBS messages. BBS in itself
|
|||
|
|
is an acronym for Bulletin Board System, as acronyms are abbreviations which
|
|||
|
|
stand for a series of words. Some people do use them to cut down on the
|
|||
|
|
typing time, so here are a few more acronyms.

----------
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
The holiday season is almost upon us, so the December issue of the Pasco BBS
|
|||
|
|
Magazine will have a look at some Christmas oriented programs. As always,
|
|||
|
|
there may be a surprise or two. Look for the December issue, available on
|
|||
|
|
November 21.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The January issue will be our First Anniversary Issue, and that one should be
|
|||
|
|
fun!

fashion with no intention of any infringement of the trademark itself.
