I remember Boobie. The StG BBS Software was very nice for its day and I 
really liked the network;Lots of good people. I remember I still ran the 
BBS part-time for a while even after the network had ceased to exist but 
the BBS was dead by then. There were alot of neat add-ons done by Alan 
Sheltra (Zog), Wes Gale too I think, and alot of others (my memory is 
starting to fail). I remember I wrote a QWK mail door program so you 
could download messages and read them offline with Scribe or adqwk. I 
also wrote a portal program to grab messages from a QWK packet and post 
them to/from the StG Network (i.e you could funnel FIDO and listserv 
messages to the network this way) I can honestly say I had a lot more fun 
programming and working with the CoCo, OS-9 and StG then I've had with 
any computer since.
