In trying to cleanup the use off GBBS ran into a GBBS site that had all kinds
of stuff for  the Apple plus some really new programs, at first all I wanted
was  the Fee for GBBS but he got nasty, so I went to the Software Publishers
Assocation and let then know, when I said he had old Apple II programs they
were not interested, but When I told them he had Windows and other stuff, I was
contacted by  the FBI and thy took him down and from What I heard from an agent
they even to his garage door opener, becase as   thy said it looked like
computer.  guess it has to be other then old programs and must be large to have
anything done.
