Intelec International E-Mail Network
■ Meet Your New Administrator ■
By: Dave Calmer
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Well according to Cliff's announcement you all know me already <g>, but
since I know that isn't the case let me talk a little about one of my
favorite subjects...ME! <g>
I'm an old timer on Intelec, back when I first joined we could all
recite the node list from memory and chances are we could name almost
all of the users <g>. Besides being the editor of this newsletter I have
been serving the network as a Super Regional since I joined. I have done
my time as a moderator, I've been handling the Sysops conference for the
past couple of years, Audio-Video since it was introduced and the Issues
Debate conference for the last couple of months. Enough of the boring
network credentials, what about the REAL me?
Like many of us my job in the real world is what introduced me to
computers. After getting hooked I discovered the modem world and have
been roaming the world for the past several years. Over the years I've
had several `private' BBS systems up and running, mostly for keeping in
touch with friends and business associates. In 1989 I decided to take a
stab at the `public' and opened my current system up. The main reason
for my opening this system was I couldn't find a board in town that I
liked, they were all just file boards and I already had my fill of
shareware. I decided to take a chance and introduced network mail to my
callers when I added Intelec a couple of months after the board opened.
I am 35 years old and have four wonderful daughters (13, 10, 9 and 6)
from my first marriage. That one ended about six years ago, with a wife
and four girls in the house it was either divorce or never use the
bathroom and phone again <g>. Last New Years Eve I threw caution to the
wind and got married for the second time, I figure that practice makes
perfect and I'm bound to get it right sooner or later <g>. Jennie, my
wife, is currently finishing up school at USC, and the long distance
relationship has proved to be interesting to say the least <g>. She is
in her final year though, after graduation she will be returning to the
area so we can start acting a little more normal.
You'll all come to find that I'm a natural born smarta**, I try to NEVER
take things too seriously. I think we're all on Intelec for the same
thing, to have a little fun and make a few friends in the process. There
are NO major changes planned for the network as far as philosophy and
goals are concerned, we've got a good thing going and there's no sense
in rocking the boat. My background is in sales and management, and my
management training will surely mean I'll do a few things a little
different than Cliff did. While the style may turn out to be a bit
different the results will remain the same, anything and everything I do
will be done for the best of the network as a whole.
