[September 17, 1995]

"So I headed down to One BBScon, the annual event aimed at BBS owners which was held this year at the Tampa Convention Center in Florida from Wednesday August 16th through Sunday August 20th. . .

Many BBS owners, wandering from booth to booth, seemed tormented with an traumatic mixture of fear and greed. On one hand they feared being wiped out overnight by Microsoft Network, while on the other hand they couldn't help hoping that if they plugged their existing users into the Internet, they could charge twice as much for access and clean up.
