    Hello to all,

    I have been popping in and out this BBS trying different configurations on my Dial-Up modem, it seems to be working alright for now.
    I am a retro enthousiast, I collect old electronics of various types; Cassette deck, CD player, old video game consoles, basically anything I can find in a thrift store for cheap. My main limitation would be money as I am a college student studying Computer Science, althought I think storage space is closely second.

    Anyways, I look forward to discussing here.

    Hi and welcome to Magnum BBS :)

    I've updated your access so you should have access to all features on the BBS.

    I'm also a retro collector and hoarder, and I definately have a problem with space, although I have come up with some ways of managing to cram other retro computer or bit of hardware into the smallest of spaces.

    We dont have thrift stores here in the UK ... I wish we had though. Best we get are second hand shops that sell the odd console.

    Which modem are you using?
