Commodork: Sordid Tales from a BBS Junkie

Flack:
My new book Commodork: Sordid Tales from a BBS Junkie is now available. The book is a collection of my own personal experiences that took place during the classic bulletin board era. After a brief introduction that romps through my TRS-80 Model III and Apple II years, the book takes you through my adventures as a BBS user. The first half of the book takes place during my Commodore 64 years, while the second half takes place in the IBM PC world. As you might suspect, the book concludes right around the time the World Wide Web takes hold and destroys one of the greatest hobbies of all time. :)

If you remember copyfests and busy signals, you will enjoy my tribute to the greatest computer experience of all time.

The first chapter of the book is available for free in PDF format on my website here, which also contains purchasing links. The book retails for $14.95 (US).
