to TRACI WEISTER re: R/TERM PAPER
|
|
|
|
Randy hasn't called here in a Loooong time, sorry.
|
|
History of CBBS? Heh. Couple thousand words there. Next question:
|
|
BBSs today vs when we started? Gee, few similarities. I guess the
|
|
biggest difference is the use of multiple lines, lots of file transfers,
|
|
"conferences", email forwarding (ala FIDO) etc.
|
|
What am I doing now? Well, RIGHT now I'm going "C" programming on a
|
|
Risc system for X-windows graphics applications, on a contract. I work
|
|
for IBM and this is my 25th year (not all that well known, nor relevant).
|
|
I spend a lot of time on, on order of time, Compuserve, Unix (Randy went
|
|
on to run a series of public-access systems, most recently "chinet"),
|
|
CBBS, BIX, America Online, etc.
|
|
Define a BBS? Well, I coined the term, and in doing so, meant to imply
|
|
the computerization (C) of a Bulletin Board System (BBS) = CBBS. In other
|
|
words, postings of messages - questions, answers, etc. I didn't then
|
|
and don't now believe REAL strongly in private mail - I like as many people
|
|
as possible to participate in the conversations, etc.
|
|
But a definition? Just about any dial-in system that at least includes
|
|
a message base. I suppose something more sophisticated could be called
|
|
a "conferencing system".

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/TERM PAPER
|
|
|
|
Thanks for taking the time to answer Ward! I sorta feel like Moses t
|
|
to God (removing sandals approaching burning screen). Does the board look
|
|
the same as when you first started it? I read that it went online in
|
|
February 16?, 1978. How long did it take to write the program? If there
|
|
is a definitive Ward and Randy history boI'd sure like to find it.
|
|
If not, perhaps you should write your memoirs??? <G> I think the only
|
|
important thing I've learned from this paper, is that I don't know
|
|
*anything!*.
|
|
|
|
I'm trying to learn C on my own right now. I have micro C and probably
|
|
this fall will upgrade to something that can handle Borland C+.
|
|
|
|
Well, again, I appreciate your answering.

to ALL re: PARITY & CLOCK CYCLES
|
|
|
|
Computers have come along way since the Altair 8800 back in 1975. Memory
|
|
has also. Static, giving way to dynamic with external clock, to todays
|
|
chip.
|
|
With this in mind, is parity checking really necessary. The only
|
|
time I have seen it come up is if there has been a memory failure, or
|
|
a static shock which kills the machine anyways.
|
|
Specifically, the newer BIOS's have the ability to disable parity
|
|
check, making memory cheaper (not really that much), but MY REAL
|
|
QUESTION IS:
|
|
Does the memory parity checking take CPU time, making the machine run
|
|
slower, or do the motherboards have a chip responsible for memory
|
|
management and things such as parity checking ??
|
|
dup. chars.
