Description
A dial-up bulletin board run from Brookholm Falls by its sysop, Anika Okafor, with message bases, a file library and 82 members.
Provenance
Rebuilt from a server image provided by the site’s former administrator. The disks had been stored beside a loudspeaker, and one track on each was weak. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
