Hello Bo Holt!

 BH> Yep!  That was me, The Mechanic's Workbench!  I guess
 BH> there's still an old BBS list floating around somewhere
 BH> LOL.

It's even easier than that.  A couple of places track the  
Fidonet nodelist history:

https://nodehist.fidonet.org.ua/
http://ambrosia60.dd-dns.de/fidonet/nlarchive2.php

The latter one seems to be having a connection problem at this  
time.  :(


 BH> I'm currently connecting on period hardware (a Tandy 1000
 BH> TL/2), well, with the exception of using a WiModem232.  I
 BH> recently acquired this computer and was happy to see my
 BH> old IBM 5153 display is still nice and crips, for the most
 BH> part! ;)

Ah.. an 8088?   I think my first was a 80286.

I tossed out all my CRT monitors years ago.  I decided that the  
wattage usage and heat generation wasn't worth it.
