Rancid BBS Birthday

Ten years ago Rancid BBS was going online. The Bulletin Board System was built on top of Remote Access 2.1 and was running on a 386SX and 8MB RAM with a 14,400bps modem.

The BBS had more than 10 calls every night and about 2000 registered users (it was online only at nigth because it used the phone line of my parent's home).

Sometimes I miss the old days, chatting with others Sysops, the Fidonet point and the UUCP issues, the ANSI arts, the Locolist...and so on.

When I developed Rancid BBS I was 14 years old and it was the beginning of my computer career. I really enjoyed that beginning :)
