GET MONEY
The first thing you need if you want to build a
Wildcat BBS is good old fashioned money! It is an
expensive hobby running a BBS - make no mistake about
it! So if you are on a really tight budget I would
suggest another hobby! The cost however, can be
regulated by the style of BBS you are looking for.
There is the "Cadillac and Rolls Royce Model BBSes" ,
there's the "1959 Volkswagen" type and there is the
comfortable driving newer model that does not have
absolutely every whistle and bell that comes down the
pike...but again which does not cost a small fortune
to set-up and maintain. I started out with the
Volkswagen, and now I am up to about an '87 Grand
Am... which happens also to be the year of the car
that I drive. But believe me, I spend more time
driving this BBS than I do the car!
So: make sure you have enough money to get yourself
set up with some decent hardware, and software. And
then leave some stashed away for all of the
REGISTRATIONS of all of the auxiliary programs you
will "need" to get for the board! All of the
SHAREWARE versions of third party programs that in
conscience you will feel obligated to pay for : like
this book for one!
In short, the BBS category needs to be added to the
family budget, (and Quicken Program) if you are to do
this thing any justice. And keep peace in the
family!
