• History about fidonet + interview

    From Soldan Soldanes@4:900/102 to All on Wednesday, May 31, 2023 10:14:23
    Hello everyone.
    My name is Sergio (my nick is soldan), I am editor and chief editor at "Revista Replay", an Argentinean printed publication with 40 issues in circulation and 7 years of life. In our magazine we deal with topics related to homecomputers, retroconsoles and the history of videogames and computing in Argentina and Latin America. In some issues we have investigated the origin of BBS in the country, interviewing protagonists who had BBS in the 80s. I've been trying to track down the person who brought Fidonet in Argentina, his name is Pablo Kleinman but I can't contact him since he doesn't answer my messages, maybe he's not interested in talking.
    Anyway, I would like to talk to some historical member of Fidonet, either from the international network, from Spain or anywhere else, to put together an article for Replay Magazine.
    Sorry if I posted the message in the wrong forum. If you have any questions, please contact me here, or send me an email to soldan@disroot.org.

    Greetings and thanks.

    Soldan,

    I've been trying to track down the person who
    brought Fidonet in Argentina, his name is Pablo Kleinman but I can't contact him since he doesn't answer my messages, maybe he's not
    interested in talking.

    I met Pablo Kleinman for breakfast in LA on my way to Honolulu in 1995.

    Very fine young man who at that time was ready to leave Fidonet and Zone-4 behind. He wanted to pursue a career in audio-visuals in the Hollywood area and subsequently vanished from the Fido-radar.

    I seriously doubt you'll be able to trace him again within thidsmedium ... this was 28 years ago.
