The screenshot of logging into Padre's bbs that was using Skyline BBS software brings back a lot of fond memories.
I had used Skyline since it was first called Atredes, and later called Omnilink. I had become a beta tester of the software and had a ball with it and Skypix, the graphics protocol. It was a great preview of what would later be seen on the internet.
One of the nicest things about running a BBS on the Amiga is that PC hackers couldn't drop it to DOS and reformat the hard drive. One kept trying for over a week on mine and I made an ANSI-bomb that was ready to reprogram his DOS-based PC (keyboard scramble and blanking screen, etc). I was the only computer running a BBS in the city that could stonewall him. And I owe it all to having an Amiga. :-D
