Cool. :-) I never got the bug to be a sysop - I was still fairly
new to computers. Yes, I had owned a CoCo 2 earlier and knew
BASIC, but not networking, etc.
I did get VERY active immediately in INTELEC echo when The Fridge
was a new BBS in town and became a moderator not too far down
the road. I met the sysops in person and 'helped' a little on
things, but never got the bug. :-)
