From the Jason Scott / TEXTFILES.COM Printout Collection
|
|
|
|
These are original linefeed printouts fed through a Optical Character
|
|
Recognition system, with hand-editing done afterwards to clean issues
|
|
with text rearrangement and OCR errors.
|
|
|
|
The printouts are from a collection dating from 1983-1985, and were
|
|
generally made on an Epson MX-80 Dot-Matrix printer connected to an
|
|
IBM PC-XT. The Bulletin Board Systems and other services were located
|
|
throughout the United States, and captured by Jason Scott, who can
|
|
attest to their authenticity.
|
|
|
|
Spelling errors, content and extraneous system information such as
|
|
prompts and menu items have been left untouched. Errors and other
|
|
artifacts of conversion to this format should be considered in
|
|
determining the validity or historical context of statements in these
|
|
printouts.

Description: Message bases from unknown newly-created Citadel BBS (NY)

|
Hello all!! Welcome (finally) to our CITADEL. As you have noticed anyone can
|
|
establish a password( Without verification...) this will be an open system for
|
|
about a month or so. Then the doors will close and the good users will be able
|
|
to get in and talk to the good users who are still here. Not to scare you,
|
|
most people will be allowed to stay, but those distinct few, the
|
|
'trouble-makers' and generally useless people will have a hard time getting
|
|
onto the BBS.
|
|
Well that's my two bits for the day, lets see this bbs grow and grow!!
|
|
|
|

|
|
A quick hint, as it seems everyone is confused!:
|
|
typing a period (.) will allow you to give citadel extended commands like:
|
|
.R(ead) F(orward) or .E(nter) P(assword) etc.
|
|
Type .h(elp) extended or .h(elp) commands for more info.
|
|
Also a question mark (?) typed anywhere will

Hi all, the last guy is right about using cb radios for conferences. If
|
|
anyone else likes the idea, let me know and then we might be able to talk
|
|
sometime. How 'bout it? Later dudes!

About CB's...hmm...could be fun but sort of limited...maybe expanded with
|
|
phone patching...Let me know if you want to do
|
|
it.

Oh boy, "chicken band"... Not real useful for us long-distance callers.
|
|
Actually, I don't know if I'd wanna "go voice".
|
|
Maybe you folks could think of another medium - perhaps low-frequency
|
|
transmissions? (Low-fers!)

Hey mark, what's up. Long time no see! Give me a call when you see this

message
|

......Ok? Talk to you later dude!

Hi mark, since when do you need ibm software? Is it for randy? Give me a call

Hi all, I just thought I would give you my philosophy of 'life'. We are all
|
|
put here to be tested. Everyone's performance is judged, and graded. If we
|
|
stand up to god's tests without turning into a revengeful, hateful, and bitter
|
|
human being, we will be granted admission into heaven ...Where we will
|
|
experience pleasure and ultimate happiness forever! If we fail god's tests, we
|
|
will be sent to hell...Where you would go through punishment beyond
|
|
our comprehension. ( And this torture or punishment lasts forever
|
|
---------- think about that word "forever", it means never
|
|
ending...Never!!! Heavy shit right? Just something to think about. Bye

Hi all, does anyone know where I can get a cable tv box descrambler? I have a
|
|
box now, that is programmed from the cable companies computer. They cut me
|
|
off...I wwould like to know how I can re-set the electronics inside the box so
|
|
I can get cable again. Adams-russle cable company uses a box that is set to
|
|
descrable certain channels via a separate coax cable going into the box. The
|
|
box is fed two coax cables...One for the actual channel....And the other to
|
|
set the internal circuit to descramble certain channels (only the ones you pay
|
|
for). Does anyone know what I'm talking about? And do any of you have
|
|
adams-russel cable service? If so I would appreciate any help given
|
|
to myself. If you can help me, please leave me mail ok? Thanks, mr. Freeze
|
|
|
|
85April27 from Roger Tuttle
|
|
Mr. Freeze, I know how to fix your problem. For me to do this I have to
|
|
know about your box, how it is opened, and the chip layout. If you can get
|
|
these for me I can probably give you all the help you
|
|
need. ==Roger

Which Addams-Russell System Are you on? There are 23 Systems that They Own
|
|
They Are: 1. Yorktown Somers Area. 2. Bedford Mt. Kisco Area 3. Portchester
|
|
Area.
|
|
What Type Do You have? Do you Have The Box with a Knob on it, the New Jerrold
|
|
Boxes With a 3 Way Switch, The Old Jerrold With With a 2 Way Switch or the
|
|
Remote control One. My Guess is that you are in the Portchester Area Because
|
|
The Bedford System And The Yorktown System Are Relitively Screwed Up... Have
|
|
a nice day!

Although True The VAX is Not a Micro, I am Curious To Know What is A Real
|
|
Computer Besides an Apple Macintosh. (In your opinion) Personally I Don't Know
|
|
if you Could Name one Because You keep on Going on other rooms on the system
|
|
(I.E. IBM) and saying Get a Real Computer! Now The IBM is Far From Perfect But
|
|
it's a Nice computer! The Mac Is A Real Computer but That is not Perfect too.
|
|
In my opinion There are Tons Of real computer s out there, After All It's Not
|
|
the Computer That Counts, It's the User. I have seen Many People with Fat Macs
|
|
and IBM-PC Xt's Who Do nothing But play games on their Computer. IOn the
|
|
other Hand I have Seen Some TRS-80 Color Computer owners turn their Computer
|
|
into a Working Multiuser System. Now Who is The Real Computer Owner In that
|
|
Case??? also Not All of here have been as Nutty to use a computer for X Number
|
|
of Years (like You or I), So they Don't Know as Much Why Critisize Them
|
|
Because of it. If someone has a Question about Programming Why Should We Crack
|
|
on Them Because the Question is Relitively Simple??? If you Wish to Go on
|
|
Cracking on Everyone or This Argument Please Leave it to me in mail. (This Is
|
