A few years ago I was interviewed for a BBS Documentary. I just discovered that the entire interview is available on line. Here's the link:

How many other Forum members here today were involved in the BBS scene?

That was very interesting. I started using computers at work about 1985 for engineering and CAD. Never got much behind the programming. Didn't have the time and more aptly the interest or ability. Still interesting to read about those who do.

Interesting; thanks b0b.
That "interviewer" talks more than Charlie Rose.

I really enjoyed your interview. Talking about your Atari brought back memories of my days struggling with EZ Tracks on my 540 and boy I really believed I hit it big when I graduated up to my 1040! As Bill Gates said back in those days...."64K is enough for any computer!" I still have a box full of midi disks written on EZ Tracks. I wish I could find a way to convert those tracks to PC.
Anyhoo...
I was very impressed with your programming background and your computer knowledge and skills. You are very articulate. And thank you again for all of your effort and time keeping the Steel Guitar Forum going.
My best to you and Mrs. Lee this holiday season.

Wow, that's great! I watched most of the BBS Documentary tapes a while back, before I knew about the SGF.
