I am writing a book listing "Easter Eggs." I'd be sincerely grateful for any contributions you might be able to make. What are Easter Eggs? Easter Eggs are little undocumented "goodies" that programmers hide in their programs. For example: In a beta version of "HAL," a Lotus 1-2-3 add-in for…

Makes sense to me. Let's see, a Nintendo costs $100? So IBM should charge… $7,000. Such a deal!

Well, I don't think she'd want to buy Paragon. The author of 4D is letting her modify the source code, and she's pretty partial to it. She has the BBS up and running under 4D, and to re-do all the work she's put into it… Well, I'm starting to feel…
#Echomail Message #110218

Does anyone know how to send and receive echomail on an Amiga BBS from an IBM BBS? My Girlfriend is running 4D-BBS and would like to local echo some message bases from the local BBSs, most of which run on IBMs. She's got an A1000, so no Bridge Board. Even…

From: Cliff Dirgo AmigaTech Forum · Talk to the Trade June 27, 1990 2:56 PM
Well, you just gotta try THE hottest BBS in all the known universe. It's called "Crystal City BBS," and the number is (303) 226-6891. It's in Ft. Collins, Colorado. My girlfriend runs it. She's still working on it, so it comes and goes. It's set up like a text adventure.…

It might be worth the mastering costs for a place like Sears to make such a CD. They could use it on an in-store machine. It'd be handy as all get-out, and it would attract customers. Once they mastered the disk, they could sell it. Might as well, right? It's…

I used a sta{dard Apple Super Serial Card to ImageWriter Cable. It seemed to work fine for me… color and everything. You have to monkey around with the serial port settings in Preferences, as i recall. Fortunately, the A500 has standard, ordinary Parallel and serial ports (well, as "standard" as…

I'm shopping around for a BBS for my humble little Amiga. I would like something with a decent message base (since I intend my BBS to be mostly message-oriented)…I also would like it to be customized easily (and yet better, with Arrex support) so I can make my BBS look…
