Not Without a Lot of Expensive Equipment. No. You Would Have to Tell Someone
And you told no one? No one?
Well, There Was Freedom
What’s Freedom?
Freedom Is a National Bbs System. It’s Fairly New
What do they do?
LIKE MOST BBS’S, IT’S AN OPEN FORUM FOR EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION, PROGRAMS, ETC. IT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST IN THE COUNTRY. THEY HAVE BBS AFFILIATES IN 50 OR 60 CITIES. THEY ALSO RUN A SHARE-WARE SERVICE.
Is that significant?
MOST SHAREWARE COMPANIES SELL THEIR SOFTWARE ON OTHER PEOPLE’S BBS’S. THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE. THEY GIVE AWAY THEIR SOFTWARE FOR FREE. IF YOU LIKE IT, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SEND IN A FEW DOLLARS AS A REGISTRATION, AND THAT’S HOW THEY MAKE MONEY. IT’S PART OF THE CULTURE, DON’T BECOME RICH ON SOFTWARE. FREEDOM WRITES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SOFTWARE AND THEY PUT IT ON THEIR OWN AS WELL AS OTHER BBS’S. IT’S REAL SMART. THEY BASICALLY HAVE THEIR OWN METHOD TO DISTRIBUTE THEIR SOFTWARE.
Do they make money?
