The first BBS I ever called was a POTS multi-line, home brewed system
running on a Burroughs B-20 mini computer. Called "Minnie" by it's Big
Cheese - who worked for, guess who, at that time. We used to have Minnie-
Fests (similar to echo picnics - but local) at various venues in the area.
And Minnie members were the core of the local *Nix Usersd Group which to
this day meets on the second Wednesday of the month for food & beverage.

Attendance is sparser than it used to be - manym have toppled from their
respective twigs r moved elsewhere. But ther's still a core of 10 or so
who still make it (sometimes) to the meetings.

Which means the *I* won't be BBSing on my phone. AFAIAC my phone is to
take calls and make calls and/or the occasional text. Apps are nice, buy
a side issue.
