[Coco] RiBBS

[Ron Bihler]

Thanks,

As I am digging into this further I am running into so many names I 
remember.  That was a fun time! How far it's come compared to today and 
places like this list that are effortless.

Yes limping along at 300 baud, 9600 was heaven.

I would really like to get my hands on some of the source code again.  I had 
so many binders  with code, just to see what I was able to put together that 
much stuff is mind boggling.

It's great that the package touched so many people, considering how small 
the coco community really was.

Thanks
Ron Bihler
