So, I built a forum for myself. It is the closest thing to a BBS I could get. Since my ISP does not allow incoming traffic or hosting.
Feel free to visit and join my forum. I have made topic areas that I am intimately familiar with.

I have been missing my BBS days of old

It all started in 1980 for me
We got our first family computer in 1980. I was in 6th grade. It was a Heathkit H8 computer with a Heathkit H19 terminal. It had 64k of memory and two hard-sector 5 ¼ Floppy drives. We also had an Anderson-Jacobson Printer (typeball printer). We used both CP/M and HDOS operating systems for H8.
In 1983 we got a 300 baud modem. That was when I started Networking, by calling local BBSs or CompuServe.
This was main computer I used at home, until I got my high school graduation present. We did have a TRS-80 model 1 and a Timex Sinclair model 1000 at home also. And I also used a teletype connected to a mainframe, a Commodore PET and Franklin Ace 1000 (Apple clone) in high School. But they were always secondary to the H8.
That’s enough for now. I will expand upon my classes and projects in middle and high school on a future blog post.

wharffrat.com is in process
wharffrat.com is set up with links to here, You Tube, & facebook. It has contact information on it also. I will be doing a complete rebuild of the page in the near future. I am taking an online class on advanced web design. Once I get the software and the knowledge, wharffrat.com will become the website I have always wanted it to be.
