greetings to all the world's users...


i am looking to have some coders/crackers/hackers/whatevers put together a
nice upbeat demo for my bbs.  in order to encourage the coders, i am
offering the winner a one year subscription to either amigaworld or
amazing, and another item of my choice.  sounds like a decent prize, right?

when sending your entry, please include your name, full mailing address,
any e-mail addresses you may have and your prize preference--amigaworld or
amazing.  giving me your t-shirt size might be a good idea too! :)

the rules are as follows...


1) entries may be submitted by mail though submissions my modem are
preferred
2) no entries will be returned
3) the winning entry becomes the property of the contest sponsor (me!)
4) entries must be received by Monday, March 1, 1993
5) themes MUST NOT include or reference cracking/spreading/warez, etc
     a) themes SHOULD focus on world wide networks ala internet, usenet,
        fidonet, amiganet, packet radio, etc
6) demos MUST include sponsor's sysop (name, pic, etc), bbs name, bbs logo,
   electronic addresses, telephone number(s) and creative/original fonts,
etc
7) demos MUST run on an A3000; optionally run on lesser machines
8) demos may run in pal mode though ntsc is preferred
9) demos must have all original theme music... can you say ((((STEREO))))

i think that is enough for rules, don't you?


now, a little background about the bbs and myself...

the system's resources are dedicated primarily to internationally linked
echomail and newsgroup message areas.  from the one system you can access
the fidonet, usenet/internet and amiganet electronic networks.  as the name
implies, the system was established to serve as an electronic information
resource for owners and potential owners of 680x0-based cpus.

although the system's focus is not executables (files), there is an on-line
cd-rom file server which services amiga and macintosh users.  current
cd-roms include fish discs 1-750 and 1.7gigs of macintosh pd software.

the bbs first went up in january of 1992.  it runs on a 25mhz 3000 w/ 350
megs of message space and 3 cd roms--uploads are discouraged though there
is space available seriously!  the bbs is not multiline, but is networked. 
network addresses appear below in the (skimpy) ansi login screen...

as for me, my handle is session manager which comes from the name of a
multitasking/switching interface that runs on ibm mainframes.  i have a
couple cracker friends, but i don't want to say hi to them in a demo!  i DO
want to say hi to my girlfriend trina (rat-bait) and some other heroes of
the legitimate networking community--mainly Stephen McRae, Reid Bishop,
Greg Bastow, Doug McLean, Santosh Bungay, Chuck Buck, Maximilian Hantsch,
TpT's crew, Steve Lewis, Mike Moon, Luca Spada, Eric Buckner, Eric DeLord,
Eric De Jong, Sam Yee, Roger Nordin, Richard Classic, Lawrence Chen, Dan
Crooks, Bill Williford, Gulliver Flynn, James Scott, Steve Cole, Kevin
Vahey, Kevin Snider, Ron Reynolds and lastly, the two people who got me
started in all of this, Allen Mitts and Bob Shattler.

now, how about some putdowns???  bahahaha!  naaaahhhh, we don't need those.
i am a responsible sysop and want that to be conveyed in the demo.

that about sums it up.  if you have any questions or want to submit
entries, use any address below.

ps--anything in this message is fair game for use in a demo, either in this
form or in a modified form.
