system has seen a massive change over the last twelve months, with
two hardware upgrades, 6 CD Rom drives added - we now have nine!
Two new nodes will be added in 1995 taking our total to five, two of
these nodes will be subscriber only. Many more enhancements are on
the way, and many new message networks. In December 1994 we added
FidoNet, to come early 95 InterNet, WEBB, ILINK, and RIME, we
already have 40,000 messages available daily.
Our files list is being added to daily, approximatly 200 files a
month! Imagine - 5 - 10 new files every DAY! Our target is 250,000
files, currently there are over 100,000 files on-line!!!!
Our user base is growing all the time, many of them are business
professionals and computer enthusiasts, who are willing and able to

has grown to over 3,800 users plenty of users to talk to!
Mail Networks: Short Circuit is a node or Main Hub for the following
networks, FidoNet 2:2501/205 (01493 748890), WildNet, The Net, covering a
diverse range of subjects and effectivly means that you are able
to message around the globe - all through your local board! Hows
that for value! There are currently over three hundred conferences
to choose from, on subjects ranging from the trivial to the more
serious issues - over 20,000 messages currently available - go on

We are also the UK Distributor for Telix for DOS and Windows - the
best communications program ever written. Plus our recent aquisition
of distribution rights for Europe for CMPQwk, the ultimate off line
mail reader for Windows, with direct links with the authors in the US.
Making this BBS a conduit for technical support for various quality
products, and we are adding to them all the time.
If you're looking for fun, Short Circuit has that in plenty too -
check out the message conferences and see. Or check out one of the
Live Games that are always available.
If you're an old-hand at comms or if you're just getting started,
Short Circuit is the board for you. The software used is
Wildcat! 4.0: renowned for its simplicity of use as well as its power
and flexibility. And everyone is warmly welcomed, whether they
call dozens of boards each week or whether Short Circuit is
the very first board they have ever called! With the introduction
of RIP Graphics it is now possible when using a terminal program
that supports it to use a mouse throughout you online sessions,
making the BBS even easier to use for mouse users. (Telix for
Windows supports RIP in all Graphics modes, see TFW10XX.ZIP for
further info.)
There are several levels of Membership starting from just £25 for
a full year. 50p a week or thereabouts. For access to so much hardware
and software assistance and for access to so many Public Domain and
Shareware files, we think it's a bargain.

details and an application form.
