bought a 17 meg HD for $450 (on sale)

Wow! a bargain!

This thread is SO off-topic, but I'm laughing too much to say "stop".

And, just like the rest of us, you sat for HOURS thrilling to the stuff you
were downloading from some obscure hacker's BBS....just because YOU would
have something noone ELSE had when it was done!

Our secret BBS was called "Summerville 80" in Summerville, SC. There were
two BBSs in one house, the public one everyone knew about and another, more
obscure, unlisted, unpublished 56K BBS for the chosen few who supported it
and stole the finest stuff from the finest places for all to play......

I can still remember that phone number....(c;
