Just for fun and the Macintosh Quadra 700

Many years ago in Cincinnati Ohio, I worked on a helpdesk. We were there long after the computer store was closed. So we would change the start-up sounds for the computers that were left on.

This clip from SNL is funny but also sad. Chris Farley and Phil Hartman were both taken from us too early!

I was working on a helpdesk when Apple Announced the new Qudra Line of Macintosh computers. I ended up getting a great deal on a Quadra 700. More power, more memory, and a smaller footprint than the Apple Macintosh IIC i had on my desk. 

i actually started running a BBS with the Quadra hosting a FirstClass BBS system. The system was mostly so that I could connect the Dead Teachers Society listserve (DTS00L) with the Bitnet system. Bitnet was a collection of forums and discussion boards.

The DTS or Dead teacher’s society was started by me. It was focused on helping teachers deal with the frustrations of teaching. Even though I wasn’t in the classroom the society was still going strong.
