Description
A dial-up bulletin board run from North Glendale by its sysop, Tariq Herrera, with message bases, a file library and 480 members.
Provenance
Captured from the live site, then completed from users’ own saved copies. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. All of the work survives. The repairs are listed in the record’s damage map.
