Talk:McBBS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have created this article as a former owner/operator of McBBS with first hand experience to its capabilities and features. I used almost every version of the program. Information has been gathered from other former users of the software, which are scattered all over the world. The problem is, the history and reference is material in print format, and although the Emperor Multimedia website did feature an extensive history on McBBS until very recently, the product has been deleted from their catalog and they may no longer feature the page, by request, however, they seem willing to share the data and Derek McDonald himself still works at Emperor Multimedia and has gone on to develop other products for the firm. Much of the documentation that exists on the program came with the with the original BBS software. I will be looking for other references myself, but if you come across anything usefull, please add it to the article or to the article's talk page.

[edit] Added new data

I've added some new stats info. on the article. The data on the UNESCO "Bibliotheca Alexandrina" is based on a letter I have actually seen dated 12, August. 2007 as well as two postal receipts showing shipments. The letter was written by Chief Librarian Sohir F. Wastawy, Ph.D. and sent to McBBS author. Skelizuma 13:24, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
