Hah.. Yeah, that is quite evil.  Especially so if the person had a HD
installed! Probably not, but, still, the BBS was wiped out.

I ran a BBS for a little while.  Called something like "Rebel's
Hideout".  I don't recall much, but I do remember that after I took it
down, I would still get calls. I recall distinctly, on many occasions,
answering the phone and saying "Hello?" When no one answered, I would
flip on the Apple //, hit Ctrl-Reset, PR#2, ATH1, ATA, and get the
modem to connect.  Then I would type "Hello?" and usually get into a
conversation.  Funny.  Couldn't cold boot a computer like that today!
Well, not unless it was an Apple //! hehe
