Got another BBS screenshot for you - I ran The Abbey back in the early 90's, after being active in the BBS scene since 1984. See the URL for the screenshot and the story.

Funny how this stuff is popping back up! I sold my Apple // BBS (ProBOARD II) to the same guy ($500)who runs textfiles.com for his computer museum in Boston. The ProBOARD II was the GBBS SysOP Support Board and ran from 1985 till 1995, the days before the web and we all had to hack to get into the internet. But I had SysOPs from as far away as Johanesburg South Africa and Duhran Saudi Arabia (during the first bush war) calling (at 2400 BPS) for my mods and stuff. I wrote TimeGrapher if anyone remembers that, co-designed and developed ProTERM, I'm sure someone remembers that one (Greg Schaefer) it was the best TERM-Prog ever! I'm wondering if some of the old ProBOARD ][ ANSI and PTSE (ProTERM Special Emulation) Menus in there, I know he has them. If Not maybe I can dig them up off my first Power PC Mac still running over at moms.

The Apple//e was originaly owned by none other than Bob Hardy who wrote Zork Zero and some other cool games on it before I bought it ($50). He later worked for Electronic Arts (PGA GOLF) and is now the CEO of SEGA North America btw. That Apple//e is the one that is in the computer musuem in bean Town btw. Thanks for the memories! -Jpe@gopaso.com

            Your fine ASCII art

Wow.. Don't forget to check out my old Amiga BBS. Connection details on my website =)

I love the old times feeling, I'm a big fan of the BBS era. =) take a look at my website to see a reconstruction of a message board with the feeling of a bbs. It's for the ones like me too lazy to connect to telnet bbs's. =)

I made a lot of ANSi Art back the days. Some of the better ones are archived at the link posted.

who could have ever thought that it's possible to paint, create true pictures with simple 1 and 0:) or with dots and lines. bravo!

One of these days, images like this will be appearing in a modern art gallery (if it hasn't already)!

I love this one.

I remember in the mid to late 70's having wall sized ASCII art printed using a daisy wheel printer on multiple streams of continous feed paper which are then stuck together side by side to build the large image.

It also acted as a great optical illusion depending on how close you were to it.

Great blast from the past! Thanks.
