As of this date, I was a devoute Catholic and was totaly against drugs (which I still am) and against the use of alcohol. My grades in school were pretty good, and I had what could be called a "normal" social life. The morning of May 1st, however, was one that would drastically alter the course of my immediate (and hopefully latter) future. On this date I called my first BBS. It was a board in Brick called Infinity Concepts Prime. I became freinds with the Sysop there, Tracer Von Megatron. He pretty much taught me the ropes of BBSing, like message posting, uploading, downloading, chatting, and the like. From this point on, I made calls to BBSes from my father's house since I didn't have a modem of my own.
