Ahh I love the sweet scent of nostalgia.

"The Edge; Secret Society" went online June 1986, on a Commodore 128 (in C64 mode) running C-Net BBS software and 1 floppy drive (still have the hardware). In 1988, I moved to an IBM PC 8088 with a whoppin 640k ram and TWO floppies! I got my first ever hard disk a year or so later which I think was 20mb RLL and WWIV BBS software. Moved to AZ, and put TESS back online under VBBS, where it stayed until late 1996 when I could no longer compete with the growing popularity of the Internet for users.

I still have all my software, "doors", and leet 0-1day wArEz (though they are about 5400 days old now) on my servers here... which, by comparison, are 2 x64 linux boxes, a new PE2900 server with 10 virtual machines and a total of around 5tb of storage space counting all machines.

What a change from 20 years ago, eh?
