And thusly Jeff Hellige spake:
Does anyone remember the graphics BBS' that used vector graphics (and maybe
some small bitmaps) for everything? What was the name of this?

I ran "abort,retry,ignore" BBS. In San
Jose (408 area code)
A fido node with 1 2400 baud line! 20mb of HD
running on a Televideo color IBMXT clone!
Mine was 'Mount Olympus BBS' out of Laurel, MD though it was
physically located in a friends house on Bolling Air Force Base and
running off of a Leading Edge XT clone. I never became a FIDO node
but was quite active on FIDO up through about '95 or so.
One of my favorite boards was also run just a few houses
away, called 'TandyDC'. It was run off of a TRS-80 Model 2000 using
the FOSSIL version of GT-Power and it was a TRS-80/Tandy support BBS
run by a guy by the name of Bernie Skoch. His house was stacked with
TRS-80 equipment and this was in the late 80's.
