(Translation: Andoria has found us via the KAOS BBS connection circa the late 80s. KAOS was an Apple ][ with GBBS and four "boards". One person could be logged into the system at any time. It preceded all social BBSes in Philly. The Cellar was originally developed as its modern replacement. Welcome back!)

(Translation: Andoria does not sleep, and spent the night wandering backwards through her writing and memory until she started to wonder where all the true old-school folks went. Expect lots of lurking as I watch in wonder.)

And, uh... hi? Damned if I am going to remember anything but names dredged up from deep memories... I miss the chain story
I was thinking a chain story might be fun. Would you care to start?

Welcome - back - Andoria!

Give me time to lurk and see what the feel is here first.

Andoria, I am an old-timer as well, from the KAOS days and I loved the never ending story. I was a minor player in that. I kept a recent copy of it for years (on 8" floppy) but got rid of it finally. I could make good money from several members here if I could get it back.

It got pretty silly at times but fun.

Where's Wolf?
I know she has considerable family demands and a job that would leave me exhausted within three hours. Still ... has she been about?
