I am really considering putting up an Ascii Express BBS once my CFFA card arrives.

I ran a couple of really good bbs's in the late 70s early 80s. One of them the name alludes me but had a huge number of members.
I kept experimenting with names over the years.
One of them was Gremlin's lair , then the Safehouse , which looked like a CIA lookalike lol. I was 9 years old when I put up my first , I couldnt think of a decent name but to this day I remember my first upload , Moon Buggy lol.
It was one of the games my Dad didnt think I needed.
This is probably the first game that started my software hoarding.

Oh man BBS's bring back the memories.

I do have a question ,
I could have sworn my first Apple was 1977 , was there any way an early version of the II+ would have been out at that time? Cause I remember it was a gift for me after my Sister was adopted.

According to Wikipedia, the Apple II went on sale June 5, 1977. The Apple II+ was introduced in 1979, followed by the Apple IIe in 1983 and Apple IIc in 1984.
